I seem to recall that there was a HF WebSDR in New England, but the closest one I see is in PA and hosted by K3FEF....
Does anyone know of one not yet in the directory ?

John: There should be several in the region, findable by zooming in on this map: http://rx.linkfanel.net/73, Kevin, WB4AIO. |

I'm assuming you want to hear remote receivers that use good antennas. This is the clickable PDF I hand out to those who ask me about this subject.
Again, the links are clickable. For those who are new to this, read the intro first. I use the Georgia receiver and the Washington DC receiver on a daily basis. Sometimes, I use the PA receiver but not often.

Eventually when the KiwiSDR goes back on sale I'll add another receiver so more users can use it. It is quite often full during peak hours.

I was able to get another receiver online so there are double the number of user slots available. If the first receiver is full it will transparently forward you to the second receiver. At the moment all users on the second receiver have full waterfall displays. This may change to a 2 waterfall, 6 audio only configuration if the need for more user slots arises. Both receivers are connected to the same antenna so they both function identically. N1NTE KiwiSDR - http://sigmasdr.ddns.net:8073Thanks! - Rob |

Thanks - I found that many folks who couldn't get onto yours were popping onto mine and filling the slots too, enough for me to try and find a 2nd one to add here. How did you get yours? I've only seen them being out of stock. Eventually when the KiwiSDR goes back on sale I'll add another receiver so more users can use it. It is quite often full during peak hours.

They do sell out quickly in both places. |

Excellent, Glad you found one! They don't show up often in the used market either.
Not sure how long this model will be available in the long term. Rumors of parts obsolescence and moving toward another design have been heard. They are a fun platform and it is great to be able to share my receiving location with others.

I have my AM focused SDR online from Shrewsbury, Vermont. Please feel free to use it. It is in relatively rural area up in the Green Mountains. The receiver and antenna system is a work in progress and I am paying close attention to reducing any local electrical noise on frequencies below 8 MHz. VLF and LF performance, isn't bad in my opinion (it can receive WWVB on 60 KHz during the day), but could still be a lot better. You can check out the SDR online at http://kiwisdr.w1eqx.com:8073 There is a six hour timeout in effect per connection currently as the number of concurrent connections are limited by the SDR. |

Thanks for putting this online. Did a little tuning around. Seems pretty quiet. Did hear a wideband ticking noise at about a 1 second rate. It was very weak though. Was surprised at the number of stations on the AM band that were playing music.

Steve, what you hear ticking every second is the electric cattle fence that surrounds the property. Some days it’s noisier than others, depending on the soil moisture. The fence stays on May through November.

I thought it might be an electric fence. It was quite low-level and didn't interfere with any signal of significance. I even took a listen to WWVB at 60 kHz.

Thanks to Dave, W1EUJ, there is now a third KiwiSDR receiver at my location. He graciously allowed his receiver to be used at my location. This adds more user slots to help with evening peak use. Hopefully, this will reduce the number of "this receiver is full" messages. Just use the same URL - http://sigmasdr.ddns.net:8073 - and if the first receiver is full, you will be automatically forwarded to the next available slot on the subsequent receivers. - Rob |
