[UK-CONTEST] Web based SDR

[gw0etf at btinternet.com]

Was away for the weekend but managed to sneak a listen to the EUsprint on the new experimental web based software radio at http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/. in the Netherlands.

Fascinating stuff - it allows multiple users to tune into a chunk of 40 or 80m simultaneously (though at the moment not the cw portions...) so you can see how your signal sounds (and looks..) in PA land. GMs '3WIJ and 4AFF were the strongest sigs on 40m at around 2015 ish utc, dwarfing other UK sigs and the other eu stations too, a situation commonly experienced from the NW of Wales too.

SDR is a great way to 'see' your signal on either the waterfall or spectrogram; wide ssb and key clicks are very obvious! (Both GM sigs looked immaculate....)
