At the moment I'm using Wide-band WebSDR to listen to classical music through Radio Romania International at 9790 kilocycles in the 31 meter band. It's a shortwave radio you can control through your own browser.

On this page you can listen to and control a short-wave receiver located at the amateur radio club ETGD at the University of Twente. In contrast to other web-controlled receivers, this receiver can be tuned by multiple users simultaneously, thanks to the use of Software-Defined Radio.

It's frustrating at first but very rewarding once you get the hang of it. First tip I'd recommend is to switch it from USB [[Upper SideBand) to AM then use your mouse to zoom [[MB3 mouse button scroll) & pan[[click&drag) through a 0-29159kc spectrum. Focus on the frequency bands marked by the horizontal magenta lines for the best luck finding a station you like. Persevere. It has a nice filter.

Little did we know, when we bought a computer it came along with a free shortwave radio.
