Global Tuners

GlobalTuners is a web site that provides free access to radio receivers around the world. After creating a free account with log-in, you can access a receiver and listen to a frequency of your choice. Since the receivers are being shared by others, you must follow the web site's protocol of requesting permission to change a frequency, if others are listening to the current frequency. A chat window is provided to facilitate communication among concurrent listeners.

Thanks to W4BXI and W1TXT for the info about this site.

Here is a 12 minute video of how Randy K7AGE is using his laptop PC on the road to control his rig at home, operating on several modes and bands. Thanks to W4BXI and W1TXT for the link.
