U. of Twenty Site for Phones and Tablets

by Bob Colegrove

I’m not sure if this is new.  It may have been around for a while.  Very recently, while accessing the WebSDR site at the University of Twente, it detected that I was on a tablet and offered redirection to an experimental version of their site:  http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/m.html.

Besides being an interesting site to surf radio stations, I use it regularly as a ‘spotter’ tool to see what’s on shortwave.  Admittedly, it is more than 3,900 miles from my receiver, but I like to see how well my antennas are doing.

The experimental version was accessed using the Silk browser on a 7-inch Kindle Fire.  It is slimmed down from the main version, and much easier to use with a phone or tablet, particularly the zoom in and out feature.
