A fellow Kiwi is attempting to crowdfund a world-wide network of
open-source, software-defined, radio receivers. Once in place, this
will allow anybody anywhere in the world to scan the 0 to 30MHz RF
spectrum from the comfort of their HTML-5 web browser. Built on top of
the Beaglebone, the "KiwiSDR" RF board also includes a GPS receiver
front-end, which will allow timing between receivers to be correlated,
giving a lot of options for projects like long baseline interferometry
and lightning detection. Prototypes are already deployed, and I've
been RXing in Sweden, Australia and New Zealand. [The KiwiSDR design
has been detailed on JKS.com, where there is a link to the project's
Kickstarter page.]
