 Southampton University Wireless Society WebSDR

The Southampton University Wireless Society (SUWS) Web-based software
defined radio (SDR) has been used to receive signals from the new
amateur radio LitSat-1 satellite

The Lithuanian satellite LitSat-1 was deployed from the ISS on
February 28 and the builders of the satellite have been able to use
the SUWS WebSDR to receive the satellite when it is out of the range
of Lithuania.

Noel G8GTZ, Martin G8JNJ and Phil M0DNY from the Southampton
University Wireless Society, set up the WebSDR near Basingstoke in the
UK. It currently supports parts of the 10 GHz, 1296 MHz, 432 MHz and
144 MHz bands and can be listened to from anywhere in the world.

The link is: http://websdr.suws.org.uk/

The 434 MHz receive capability is very popular for listening to High
Altitude Balloon (HAB) signals.

A couple of notes when using the WebSDR:

- If tracking balloons please set your location in dl-fldigi to
somewhere around 51.294, -1.131 so we don’t have any fake receiver
lines on the map!

- Connection to the site is over a several km wifi link, so once
you’ve found the signal, please switch off your waterfall view (Set to
‘blind’) to save bandwidth for others.

- The waterfall speed will also be automatically limited as the number
of users increases.
