Tune the Delfi-C3 WebSDR station

The Delfi-C3 control team has set up a WebSDR station at their satellite command ground station in Delft, Netherlands.

Their WebSDR station consists of receivers hooked up to a PC and then the internet to enable multiple users to tune in to different signals simultaneously.

At Delft one receiver is for VLF reception and one is currently used for the 70cm satellite segment.

Amateur Radio users can access this unique experiment at http://websdr.pa3weg.nl/. Please note that the Delfi team may occasionally retune the receivers to experiment with them.

The hardware was built by Wouter-Jan Ubbels PE4WJ.
The WebSDR software was written by Pieter-Tjerk de Boer, PA3FWM. A beta testing phase was begun in November 2008 with a few selected stations. Upon completion of the test phase the software will be made available to the public on the WebSDR project at http://www.websdr.org.

Many thanks to Pieter-Tjerk de Boer, PA3FWM for providing this software and Wouter Jan Ubbels, PE4WJ for building the receiver and providing the high sample rate sound card!

The Delfi-C3 Team's WebSDR receiver was used to copy and plot the downlink from the STARS satellite.
