Topband: Web SDR's and 'Cheating'

[Kostas Stamatis]

What is the change and how a general listener is punished betwwen now and 
hear 30 sec later. I listen fm radio from internet. I can notice a 
difference over 30 sec between real and internet radio. Even i listen games 
of my favorite team and maybe i listen the goal 30 secs later, i prefer 
internet radio because it is easier for me when i am in fornt of the 
computer. And anyway i can not find any difference. Just my 2 cents.
