N2JEU's Web Controlled Shortwave Receiver
Please bookmark or link to THIS PAGE ONLY.
While the radio control page links will change this page will always be here.
It will contain the latest information on the radio and the site in general.

There is a 15 minute time limit on the stream. You can re-start the stream after the 15 minute time limit though. This is to reduce the number of connected streams where no-one may be listening. Due to server performance and bandwidth limits there is a maximum of 50 streams available. This number may be reduced if there are problems maintaining the streams.

Once again during the 2009 hurricane season the receiver here will be used to stream audio for the Hurricane Watch Net. There will be times when it is locked on the HWN frequency for hours or days at a time. If you try to use the receiver during those times you'll usually get a message saying that it is use for the net.

The Icom IC-R75 is  online as the receiver.
The antenna is a 43 foot Zero-Five Antennas multiband vertical.
The receiver is located in Canastota, NY. That's about 20 miles east of Syracuse, NY in the middle of the state. Canastota, NY is also home to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

NOTE: I'm putting up my own Internet Remote Base. It is a ham radio station controlable over the Internet by licensed ham radio operators. There may be times when the remote ham station is in operation when the RF from it may overload the receiver. There's probably not much that I can do about it. On the bright side, the ham station will be available in RX mode when it isn't being used by ham operators. It will require a login name and password when it does begin operation. If you want to know more about the remote system or the software that will run it then please visit http://www.n2jeu.net/

A REMINDER! - The receiver will be taken off-line whenever thunderstorms are moving through the area in central NY where it is located. That's near Canastota, NY, around 20 miles east of Syracuse, NY. They will be back online again as soon as the storms clear.
