Well, this takes ham radio and SWL'ing to a new high...or new low,
depending on your point of view.

1) Turn on your rig and computer in the evening.

2) Go to bed.

3) Get up the next morning and see what your ~computer~ heard/worked.

Interesting technology, but why bother? :-(


I transmit as well. It's a real-time propagation data collection and
dissemination scheme, as much as anything else. I have fun doing it.
