Topband: Topband - Stew Perry event just 48 hours away

[Mark Connelly]

There are many more SDRs online than are actually of much use for weak signal DXing.
The map at http://rx.linkfanel.net/shows many sites.
What don't usually show are special temporary DXpedition operations.
DXpedition set-ups are typically at low noise coastal or high-altitude sites not near urban RF congestion. "Real" antennas, i.e. with decent gain and directivity, are typically used. For these reasons the short duration DXpedition receivers usually blow the doors off what "permanent" sites offer.
Long-standing, if not permanent, sites along the North Atlantic that I have found somewhat useful, such as when I have to disconnect my own stuff during lightning storms, include the following:  
Stratford, PEI, Canadahttp://47.54.214.91:8073/
Rockport, ME, USAhttp://rx2.wa2zkd.net:8073/
E. Falmouth, MA, USAhttp://kb1vwc.ddns.net:8073/
Elizabeth City, NC, USAhttp://kiwisdr.ku4by.com:8073/
Boca Raton, FL, USAhttp://boca.homeip.net:8073/
Kralendijk, Bonairehttp://bon.twrmon.net:8073/

=====
Antenna on most/all of the above should be considered non-directional, at least by what I'm hearing.
There had been useful receivers at Key West, FL and in the Dominican Republic but those are no longer active. There was also something on the western shore of South Africa - that one also gone.
There's one in Trinidad which should be useful but is deaf / noisy.

My 160m antennas are all down, but I'd love to listen! Can anyone suggest a
Web SDR with usable CW 160m reception?

TIA!
