Listen the world for FREE on your computer ( SW and MW radios, HAMs, Utility, etc )

WHy use a web or kiwi SDR on a computer ???

Many listeners in the world have QRM problems, no antenna outside or on the roof. So if they have a computer and internet its possible to listen many fréquencies, LF, LW, MW, SW, UHF, VHF in many mods ' AM, SSB, CW, DRM, RTTY, FT8, etc ) Its FREE ! Yes i know its better if you have a good radio receiver and a long wire antenne to listen shortwave. I had this in the past but now i listen with a web SDR for AM radios ( in Netherlands )  and a kiwi SDR to listen amateur radio bands ( in Switzerland )

What is SDR ?

A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet.

List of WEB SDR in the World

http://websdr.org/?fbclid=IwAR10pKhS4LJGD0lapBUwu1GZ4d5xP19r4FV3DyZgRaxOR9JEz0jy4TJD-4U

The most famous WEB SDR in the world is located in Netherlands

"On this page you can listen to and control a short-wave receiver located at the amateur radio club ETGD at the University of Twente. In contrast to other web-controlled receivers, this receiver can be tuned by multiple users simultaneously, thanks to the use of Software-Defined Radio.

If you're new to WebSDRs, have a look at the quick start guide written by G0POT."

http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

With this WEB SDR of Twent University you can listen from 0.000 - 29.160 MHz This web SDR is located 500 kms north of Paris France, i have listen many AM radios on longue wave, medium wave and shortwave. Look on my blog please.
