The Internet is a wonderful thing

I am currently listening to CB radio over it using the really cool WebSDR. I am listening to two people in Norwich talking to each other, and someone from Hanover. However I have no receiver, but am using the Internet and a receiver in Holland. Cleverly my computer is running a software radio receiver and doing all the frequency tuning and decoding. The system is really cool.

It’s like IRC, but the chatter mostly seems to consist of people talking about their kit, where they’re from and announcing their callsigns.

I want to buy a radio scanner now and hear what the locals are saying.
