Thanks Mark (and all the others who replied)! This seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't expecting any of these Web SDRs to have the type of RX antennas that contesters use. Mostly, I wanted to listen to keep my CW skills up. But it'll also be fun to see if I hear any DX.
Good luck in the contest! :-) 73 Mike W0BTU SW MO On Fri, Oct 21, 2022, 12:18 PM Mark Connelly via Topband < [email protected]> wrote: > 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.
