well i'll throw one in..

anyone tried out FreeDV? :)

i was hearing a station in Washington on and off on a basically dead band here 
in Michigan.. my station very rarely gets out/receives further west than Kansas 
on a good day ("compromise" would be a generous word for my antenna) so it was 
kind of surprising.

there's also quite a few japanese people on there daily (or nightly for us) so 
sometimes i'll pipe a websdr through there just to try and pick out bits i 
understand :)

definitely hoping it gets more popular.. but it's also not particularly 
convenient to set up (needing potentially two sound card inputs and two 
outputs)
