This one has SDRs running KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX, as well as WebSDR. I like KiwiSDR's interface the best overall, but OpenWebRX has better digital mode plugins pre-installed on most of the entries.
For anyone else who isn't sure what this is, from websdr.org:
"A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet."
Set it to 4625 USB and listen to the creepy Russian Buzzer UVB-76.
There has been speculation that this is part of the dead hand nuclear response system, though this theory has seemingly lost credence more recently. I also didn't notice any mention of it in David E. Hoffman's book, but no matter what it's actually for it is interesting and just a bit unsettling, especially late at night.
And then you'll get your license, because the Technician and even General US licenses are doable with a bit of study and can be taken online, by appointment with one of the clubs that runs exams.
Totally agree. Not to be indelicate, but I passed literally studying on the toilet with a few ios apps.
High school physics will get you a third of the questions, the rest is just rote memorization. If you’re going to go through the effort shoot for general.
I did it pretty much 100% brute force memorization with HamStudy, which was worth every penny of the $3.99 app price, and does a fantastic job of spaced repetition of the ones you got wrong or say “I don’t know” to.
General is required for most countries’ reciprocal operations licenses (at “Novice” level, but most transceivers only do 100w without an amplifier anyway)
