Northern Utah WebSDR landing page sdrutah.org The Northern Utah WebSDR's servers may be found at the links below: * WebSDR1 ("Yellow") - Covers the 2200, 630, 160, 80/75, 60 and 40 meter amateur bands, AM broadcast, the 120, 60 and 49 meter shortwave broadcast bands and the 1750 meter LowFER band. * Shortcuts: 2200 Meters (136 kHz) 630 meters (474.2 kHz) AM Broadcast (1160 kHz) 160 Meters (1875 kHz) 75 meters (3937 kHz) 60 meters (5330.5 kHz) 40 meters (7272 kHz) * The 2200 meter receiver's coverage also includes the FCC part 15 "1750" meter band and this and the 630 meter receiver collectively cover most of the NDB (beacon) frequencies. * If the above doesn't work, try this link for WebSDR #1. This alternative link uses HTTP on port 80 and is available only for WebSDR #1 at this time. * For phones and tablets, there is a simplified, mobile Version of WebSDR #1. (If that doesn't work, try the port 80 alternative for WebSDR #1.) * WebSDR2 ("Green") - Covers the 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6 meter (bottom 1 MHz) amateur bands. * Shortcuts: 30 meters (10125 kHz) 20 meters (14290 kHz) 17 meters (18145 kHz) 15 meters (21250 kHz) 12 meters (24925 kHz) 10 meters (28225 kHz) 6 meters (50125 kHz) * For phones and tablets, there is a simplified, mobile Version of WebSDR #2. * WebSDR3 ("Blue") - Covers the 80/75, 40, 30 and 2 meter amateur bands and the 90, 41, 31, 25 and 19 meter shortwave broadcast bands. * This server also serves as a back-up for WebSDR1's coverage of the very popular 80/75 and 40 meter amateur bands using lower-performance receivers. * Shortcuts: 75 Meter back-up RX (3937 kHz) 40 meter back-up RX (7272 kHz) 2 meters - low (145.29 MHz FM) 2 meters - high (146.62 MHz FM) * SWBC: 31 Meters (10000 kHz) 25 Meters (11725 kHz) 19 Meters (15000 kHz) * For phones and tablets, there is a simplified, mobile Version of WebSDR #3. * WebSDR4 ("Magenta") - Covers the 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meter amateur bands using an east-pointing beam antenna. * Shortcuts: 40 meters (7272 kHz) 30 Meters (10125 kHz) 20 meters (14290 kHz) 17 meters (18145 kHz) 15 meters - (21250 kHz) 12 meters (24925 kHz) 10 meters - (28225 kHz) * This server uses a U.S. Antenna Products (formerly Hy-Gain) LP-1002 that is fixed (non-rotatable) on an azimuth of 87° (true). * The orientation of its antenna favors the Eastern United States which means that the main lobe for DX is oriented toward South Africa, and toward Australia and New Zealand via long path. * For phones and tablets, there is a simplified, mobile Version of WebSDR #4. * Salt Lake Area 2 Meters ("Peach") - This covers the Salt Lake City, Utah area from a location in the foothills along the east side of the valley. * Shortcuts: 2 meters - low (145.49 MHz FM, squelched) 2 meters - high (146.62 MHz FM, squelched) * For phones and tables, there is a simplified, mobile version of this WebSDR. * There were 19 users on the Northern Utah WebSDR system (WebSDRs 1-4) as of Mon 27 Dec 2021 01:15:01 AM MST. WebSDR #1 had 13, WebSDR #2 had 3, WebSDR #3 had 0, and WebSDR #4 had 3 users. The 2020 Survey results are now available: Many thanks to those who took the time to participate in the 2020 survey: Your feedback helps us improve the system - An analysis of the results may be found here. Having trouble getting WebSDR audio on some Apple devices? If you are running an APPLE device and/or using the CHROME browser, make sure that you click on the START button, above and to the right of the waterfall. Having said that, there are occasional reports that users running Apple iOS 13 have have trouble getting audio on WebSDRs and KiwiSDRs. While changes have been made to the Northern Utah Utah WebSDRs to fix an issue that had prevented the "iOS Audio Start" button from appearing, but it may not work in all cases. * Possible "no sound on iOS 13" work-around if the "START" button does not work: * The configuration change below has been reported to work for at least some users of iOS 13 devices using the Safari. Do this ONLY if you don't get either audio or the "iOS Audio Start" button when using your iOS 13 device. * Go to: Settings -> Safari -> Request Desktop Website -> All websites. * "All websites" is enabled by default. Disable this setting and try your favorite WebSDR systems. * If the above doesn't help, READ HERE and HERE for more information about this issue. If you discover issues that you might think are related to browser compatibility, please let us know via the contact information on the "About this WebSDR and contact info" page. Other WebSDR systems For different geographical coverage, here are a few selected WebSDRs: Western U.S.: * KFS, Half-Moon Bay, CA - 160, 80, 40 and 20 meter coverage. This is the best alternative to the Northern Utah SDR for "local" (e.g. Western U.S.) coverage. * W7NRA, Phoenix, AZ - 160, 80 and 40 meter coverage. (Note the recent QSY of QTH!) * AI6VN, Maui, HI - 80, 60 and 40 meter coverage. Eastern U.S.: * K3FEF & W3TKP , Milford, PA - 2 Servers: * K3FEF/W3TKP HF/SWBC- 7 bands that include amateur and broadcast on the MW/160, 90/80, 60/49/41/40, 31/30, 25/22, 20/19 and 17 meter bands. * K3FEF/W3TKP VHF - 6 bands that include much of 10 meters, a portion of 6 meters and 2 meters * NA5B near Washington DC - 2 Servers: * NA5B HF/SWBC: - 8 bands that include amateur and broadcast on the MW/160, 90/80, 60/49/41/40, 31/30, 25/22, 20/19, 15/13 and 11/10 meter bands * NA5B VHF: 4 bands that include: 6 Meters (50-52 MHz), Air band (119-121 MHz), 2 meters (approx. 145.35-147.40) and NOAA Weather Radio (approx. 162.1-163.9 MHz). * N4BBQ, Dalhonega, GA - 2 bands that include amateur and broadcast coverage on the 90/80 and 41/40 meter bands. * N4BUT, Orlando, FL - 4 bands that include 160, 80, 40 and 20 meters. For a complete list of WebSDR systems worldwide, go to the websdr.org page. Other things going on at the Northern Utah WebSDR In addition to the WebSDR receivers, there are a few other things going on at the Northern Utah WebSDR, including: * KiwiSDR receivers. These are stand-alone HF receivers capable of tuning from near DC to 30 MHz, continuously, and are capable not only decoding normal "voice" modes (USB, LSB, AM, FM) but they also have the capability of decoding other types of signals - including RTTY, FAX, SSTV (Slow-Scan TV), and decode CW. These receivers are also part of a TDOA (Time Direction of Arrival) network that allow the approximate locations of received signals to be determined. * Please note that these receivers can only support a few users at a time so please refrain from using them when receiving on a frequency/mode that is already supported by the main WebSDR system! * For more information about the KiwiSDRs, read HERE (link). * KiwiSDRs 1-3 are connected to the omnidirectional antennas while KiwiSDRs 4 and 5 are connected to the east-pointing beam. * To visit a KiwiSDR at the Northern Utah WebSDR: * Click here to connect to a KiwiSDR connected to the omni antenna (KiwiSDRs 1-3). These KiwiSDRs cover from a few kHz to 30 MHz. Coverage below approx. 400 kHz is via an E-field whip and above this is via the TCI-530 omnidirectional antenna. * Click here to connect to a KiwiSDR connected to the beam antenna (KiwiSDRs 4 and 5). These KiwiSDRs over from about 6 MHz to 30 MHz owing to the limitations of the beam antenna: Coverage below 6 MHz is possible, but sensitivity is increasingly poor with lower frequency. * Again, please refrain from using a KiwiSDR to listen to a frequency/mode already supported by the main WebSDR system. * "All band" WSPRNET monitoring. Using the KiwiSDRs in conjunction with scripts running on another local machine there are virtual receivers monitoring the WSPR bands on all LF, MF and HF amateur bands (e.g. 2200, 630, 160, 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters) using the callsign "KA7OEI-1". These receivers are using the excellent antenna system on site to receive, decode and contribute WSPR spots and forward that information to the WSPRNET (link) web site where the results are aggregated and made publicly available. * For more information about WSPR monitoring at the Nothern Utah WebSDR site visit the "WSPRNET Monitoring at the Northern Utah WebSDR" web page. * HF Noise monitoring. Also using the KiwiSDRs - and related to the WSPRNET monitoring - the HF noise floor is also being monitored at this site. The results of this may be analyzed to discern band openings, the influences of the sun's activity, lightning static - and perhaps a few other things related to HF propagation and the Earth's geomagnetic field. Results of this monitoring may be seen at the following links: * Grafana Noise Dashboard - This link automatically selects the Northern Utah WebSDR system and the 10, 20, 40, 80 and 630 meter bands - use the drop-down menus to select specific bands and/or receivers of interest. * WSPRdaemon - This site provides at-a-glance graphs of noise plots on the participating bands and receive sites.
