Radio World: The World Is at Your Mouse Click

Baseball DX, #KOA Denver 850 AM. Rockies playing someone, I guess there have been a lot of home runs in the game. Spring training statistics are not particularly important.
Last year's reliable #KiwiSDR is offline, but KOA is an easy pickup from the #KA0GBG system in nearby suburban Lakewood, Colorado with the meter at S9+20.
Looking forward to opening day.

Cory #W3JL runs a KiwiSDR in Ohio (EN91) outside of Cleveland, which means it's an excellent listening post to pick up #WTAM 1100 broadcasting spring training baseball. Listening to the Guardians take on the Diamondbacks. Thanks Cory!
I should be able to pick up AM 1100 in SE Michigan, and my usual local SDR "misdr" just north of here has a pretty fair signal. I can catch the signal at home on my Youloop but it sounds better via remotes.

Now playing, The Chicks on #KUOM 770 kHz "Radio K" via the #Bikedork #KiwiSDR in Minneapolis. "Real college radio".
http://bikedork.myddns.me:8073/?f=770.00amz0
Most college radio that I listen to is only on FM, so the AM signal of Radio K is an exception (they are also on FM). This KiwiSDR's default tuning brings you right to this station for ease of remote monitoring. Antenna is a #W6LVP magnetic loop.

Looking forward to the start of radio #baseball season.
This year like last year I hope on #MLBOpeningDay 2024 to listen to both the home and away broadcasts for all 30 teams that are playing on Thursday March 28 via the network of #KiwiSDR stations that tune to the AM broadcast band.
Last year I got 28/30 - no English language AM for the Padres, and I couldn't find a Blue Jays station.
Every year a new challenge as broadcasters change.

eQSL Card received from VORW for reception of program on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25th, 2023 at 1900UTC / 1400EST on shortwave frequency 11920kHz.
I’m just noticing the QSL Card says Dec. 15th, but the program was actually heard on the 25th. Guess I’ll see if I can get another card.
Listened to this program on a KiwiSDR receiver (in comments).

CW: Chicago area KiwiSDR
Listening to NHL hockey on #WGN 720 kHz via a #KiwiSDR run by #K9MQ at grid EN61gk. The receiver is about 60 miles from the 50,000 watt AM transmitter.
Signal is (unsurprisingly) S9+25 into the Kiwi.
The K9MQ receiver is my favorite for #Chicago
area AM stations, with consistently good coverage and clear signals. -

Looking into finding a decoder for #FT8 and #JT65 on my Mac. As an extra special challenge, I'd like to use remote #KiwiSDR receivers as inputs to the decoder as well as my local #airspy SDR receiver.
So far the things that look promising:
#Digiskimmer at https://github.com/lazywalker/DigiSkimmer - "FT8/FT4/WSPR Skimmer base on WSJT/KiwiSDR"
#weakmon at https://github.com/rtmrtmrtmrtm/weakmon - "Sound-card software for FT8, JT65A, and WSPR."
Any recommendations?

CW: AM DX, baseball DX
Opening Day of the 2022 MLB baseball season!
I've been using web-based #SDR to do DX'ing of AM stations that have baseball broadcasts. The few #WebSDR systems out there (specifically K3FEF) can support lots of simultaneous listeners; the many #KiwiSDR systems out there have a lot of geographic diversity, to pull in weak stations that just happen to be nearby.
New this year is #SDRPlusPlus on Android, which with an Airspy HF+ and a #Youloop antenna is very portable.
