Web SDR Installed

Over the weekend of 31 March to 2 April 2017, a small group of us installed a KiwiSDR into the equipment rack at GB0SNB, alongside GB7KH repeater. The KiwiSDR (pictured below) is a cape for a BeagleBone single board computer, similar to the Raspberry Pi. It was kindly provided by David G7UVW, who also helped with the install. A direct link to the WebSDR at GB0SNB is found here: http://sdr.gb0snb.com/.

A new run of high quality CTF165 connects the receiver hardware inside the Shack to the WellBrook Loop antenna mounted on the mast.

This is the first stage in the installation, and the next step is to reduce the electrical noise present at the receiver; unfortunately, this may not be quite so easy in a bunker the size of this!

The receiver is available for public use, and may be found on SDR.hu. A direct link to the WebSDR at GB0SNB is found here: http://sdr.gb0snb.com/.
