And how long did this last before the whole lot from Lands End to Wick

that maybe?

The idea of being able to go on the web & listen to a remote SDR RX on 
another continent to my mind goes completly against the concept of 
Amateur Radio but how can it be proved that this is what some contester 
is doing unless all log-in information to SDR's is in the public domain?
