WEBSDR.ORG is back online

I happened to notice that http://www.websdr.org/ is back online after being off air for a few months. They also seem to be including a few more remote stations on the website as well. In case you don't know what this website does, basically they left various bromate stations around the world which broadcast on various frequencies on the amateur radio bands. I actually like using it model myself on 40 m, if you tune into the same frequency on the computer and your radio, you can often hear yourself if the propagation is running into that particular parts of the world that the remote station is set up.

Check it out, you can probably waste a couple of hours tuning around. Remember that you will need JavaScript installed and up-to-date. A few of them don't work for me, I have no idea why sto

My name is Penn, I was born in 1969 and live in a small fishing town called Brixham located on the south-west coast of England. In 1986 I dived into an outdoor swimming pool and sustained a serious neck injury which left me permanently paralysed and confined to a wheelchair. I have various hobbies such as angling, tropical fish keeping, computers and constructing and maintaining websites, and then of course amateur radio. I first became interested in radio in the early 80s when I used to use the citizens band frequencies. After I had my accident I then got back into CB and in 1995 I obtained my amateur radio licence. I now spend most of my operating time on HF, 20 m in particular where I enjoy talking to people all around the world. I use an ICOM 7800 along with a three element SteppIR directional beam antenna which is located on top of an 18 m heavy duty mast.
