\"WebSDR\"<\/a>I\u2019m not sure that you could call it \u2018Radio\u2019 in the sense that we as Amateurs understand but there are a growing number of online radio receivers now available on the internet for people to tune into.<\/p>\n

These sites are popular with Amateurs in the USA who have very strict planning restrictions for antenna\u2019s literally leaving them without any other means to access a radio.
\nHere\u2019s a small list of sites where you can access these receivers:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/hackgreensdr.org:8901\/<\/a>\u00a0HF SDR<\/p>\n

This WebSdr is located at the Nantwich Secret Nuclear Bunker, formerly R.A.F. Hack Green, now a working museum.<\/p>\n

Location: ( -2\u00b0 31′ 4” W \/ 53\u00b0 1′ 53” N ) QRA= IO83RA. \/ NGR SJ64590-47875<\/p>\n

The site also supports VHF SDR at\u00a0http:\/\/hackgreensdr.org:8902<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/websdr.suws.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

This WebSDR is operated by the Southampton University Wireless Society in collaboration with Martin G8JNJ, Noel G8GTZ and Phil M0DNY<\/p>\n

More information about how to operate the SUWS uWave WebSDR and how it works can be found in these documents:-<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.globaltuners.com\/receiver\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This site requires registration but it does give you access to a wide range of radios.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/stream.pe2mc.nl\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 This is a Dutch site that gives you access to a variety of repeaters around the world including a few UK Dstar repeaters.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/beta.remotehams.com\/\u00a0\u00a0 This site is quite interesting, you register and download an application that allows you to RX and TX via VOIP.
\nThe sites mentioned above tend to be conventional receiver, WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously.<\/p>\n

SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many conventional receivers that are already available via the internet. http:\/\/websdr.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/websdr.radio.it\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 is an Italian SDR that you can use, It works well. You will require the latest version of Java installed to run this site.
\nThis is a great resource, although some of the links are dead. It lets you select your region of choice e.g. Europe, North America or \u2018other\u2019, which is the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/websdr.ariel.ac.il\/<\/a>\u00a0 This is a very active site based in Israel at Ariel University, I spent a while listening to the radio on 20m while tuned to
\nWebSDR was first conceived as a means to make the 25 m radio telescope at Dwingeloo available to many radio amateurs for EME reception. In order to test a preliminary version of the software without using the 25m dish, a shortwave WebSDR was set up on Christmas Eve 2007 at the radio club of the University of Twente.
\nAfter further development, its existence was publicly announced in April 2008. Interest for the project has been large since then, and many amateurs worldwide have expressed an interest in setting up their own WebSDR server. In November 2008, a beta testing phase has started with a few selected stations. The software is made available to anyone serious about setting up a server; contact PA3FWM, for further information.<\/p>\n

A WebSDR server consists of a PC running Linux and the WebSDR server software, a fast internet connection (about a hundred kbit\/s uplink bandwidth per listener), and some radio hardware to feed antenna signals into the PC. This radio hardware is typically a quadrature mixer connected to the PC\u2019s soundcard, like the popular SoftRock kits.
\nOnline receivers are not limited to the Amateur bands there are many different kinds of broadcast you can access<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.scananderson.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 This site lets you listen to emergency services broadcast from Sanderson county Indiana.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.dxzone.com\/catalog\/Internet_and_Radio\/Police_Scanners\/<\/a>\u00a0 This site has links to a great may police and emergency services web feeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
