websdr is a gateway drug. It's still an amazing resource but I just want to also give props to kiwisdr just because of one amazing feature: TDOA localization.
click the 'extensions' dropdown at the bottom right and select 'TDoA'
give the extension a bit to load at the bottom left
pick a set of radios from the map (blue boxes) that are close enough to likely hear the station you're tuned to until you get 4-5 radios filled in the form on the bottom left.
click 'Submit'
if you get any red 'X' indicators click the scissors and try again. you should see a little circle clock while it collects samples, then the extension will attempt to plot likely locations for the transmitter.
really cool i think
(just tried it on a shortwave station transmitting out of Okeechobee, FL and got this result

I know nothing. I went to several sites and the display looks functional, but all I am hearing is white noise. Is there a tutorial somewhere? It has sounded cool for years, but I need to bootstrap somehow.
I am so old school that 95% of my listening is college radio stations (WREK, KFJC, WKCR...) and noncommercial stations KSDS, WFMU, WWOZ, ...). I would love to branch out.
