Another Internet SDR

Thanks- this one is actually on my bookmarks that I had saved a few months(?) ago but forgot about. Right now the page won't load, they may be overloaded so if the link doesn't work for anyone else, it's probably just too many visitors or?
 
Looks pretty nice, using it in HTML5 mode in Firefox. Good reception with very little computer noise.

Checking longwave reception this thing has pretty good reception. England and Germany stations come in strong. Also got 252 out of Ireland, 225 out of Poland. On shortwave it gets the big US religious stations WWCR on 15825 and 13845 (mixing with something else), WEWN 15610 plus a bunch of other international stations.

You can zoom in on the waterfall view and tune by clicking the black space below. On mediumwave and some parts of shortwave if you zoom in far enough some stations are labeled. Its a really nice interface with very little delay.
 
Very cool! Loads up more quickly than the Global Tuner nodes.

Must play around with this a little latter!

spunker mentioned longwave. That was the first place I went after the MW band. That was my first experience hearing anything other than beacons on LW. I was amused by how, during the day, several of the channels had two clearly audible stations. No beating, no whistles, just two clear bits of audio, one dominant, one in the background. That's pretty neat.

I fell in love with this tuner because of the waterfall graphic. It really is eye-opening to see just how much activity there is between 60 Hz and 30 MHz over in the Netherlands. I heard tons of what sounded like buzz saws, must be a lot of data going out, but for what? Then there were the beacons, the hams, the rtty or whatever it is nowadays. And the mystery stations. A silent AM carrier appears to be a straight line with no variation. But some were more mysterious. Some were wider, with repeating patterns in the spectrograph. One transmission I came across transmitted two bursts every minute or so, and on the graph appeared to be shaped like two commas!

Someone in the comments mentioned Russian radar around 19 MHz but I never heard any of that, or if I did it had moved frequencies. All I heard up there was some sort of two-way CB like communication in FM mode around 27 MHz.
 
I was playing with it for a little while this afternoon. I had to open it in Google Chrome as it wouldn't load on Internet Explorer. I think I may have to show this to one of my professors at college as he is from the Netherlands :)
 
This nice, on so many levels. For instance, in the 'Chatbox' when folks are referring to specific frequencies (for example, there's been a US Air Force 'Emergency Action Message' being broadcast), you can click on the mentioned frequency in the text and the tuner takes you right there to the action. Those Dutchies....

Right now.
8992.05kHz USB sounds like US military communications...rather like a 'number station'. Female, with American accent.

I used this a couple times during ham contests. The band would be littered with everything Europe on 20m, 40m and sometimes 80M.
