Skywave Linux is a bootable live USB Linux system for general purpose radio listening. Access hundreds of software defined radio receivers around the world and tune in broadcasts, military, aviation, maritime utilities, and amateur radio.
Skywave Linux v5.9.0 Released!
Access hundreds of software defined radio receivers around the world and tune in broadcasts in state of the art clarity!
Real radio. When your local radio reception is crap, break free with one of the listed SDRs and tune in something great. Whether your favorite station is 100 km away or on the other side of the planet...
Ugh... The BBC Has Caved
There was once a time when I hated my local broadcasters. They carried nothing but authoritarian propaganda and worship for Dear Leader. I escaped the crap by bringing up BBC Radio 4 Longwave on a WebSDR in the Netherlands. Objective news, fun features, and sometimes a bit of droll British humor.
Things are different now, by far. Yesterday was the day I wiped the BBC from my bookmarks, because their news was so offensive I was prompted go vomit. Goddamn them; they were sane-washing Trump's ICE war against brown people all over America, and the military occupation of parts of Los Angeles.
If the BBC is going to make Trump seem reasonable, then fuck the BBC.
MOFO Linux 9.4: portable live Linux for popping media bubbles.
When your local AM radio stations spout shitty propaganda, tune the band and find some good stuff on another continent.
Skywave Linux v5.3 is available for download! It is a self-contained live Linux operating for shortwave listening. Connect easily and stream from internet based SDR sites. The picture is from a nice night enjoying CBC Radio 1, picked up on a receiver in Newfoundland, Canada.
Get the iso image, burn it to a USB stick, boot the system and have fun. Shut down and unplug the USB, your PC never knew it was running a live Linux system…
Turn your PC into the ultimate shortwave radio with Skywave Linux.
That's right! Version 5.3 is available, with Kernel 6.10 and x86v2 architecture, so this mighty fine Linux will run on your older PCs.
Skywave Linux v5 is Now on Debian Sid!
Enjoy shortwave radio and overseas broadcasts, no matter where you are. Skywave Linux brings the signals to you. Broadcasting, amateur radio, maritime, and military signals are available at your fingertips.
Skywave Linux is a free and live computing environment you boot from a flash drive on your PC. Start it up, pick a radio server somewhere in the world, and tune in some stations.
Skywave Linux brings you the signals, whether or not you have a big outdoor antenna or can afford an expensive communications receiver. Hundreds and hundreds of volunteer operated radio servers are on the internet, which let you tune the airwaves and pick up broadcasts in excellent locations and on high performance equipment.
If you are into FT-8, PSK-31, JT-65, or other digimodes, you can decode the signals in Skywave Linux. It also has tools for decoding weather satellites, ACARS, and ADS-B signals.
Not only is Skywave Linux a prime system for software defined radio, but also for programming and coding. It has the Neovim editor and support for several programming languages: Python, Lua, Go, and Javascript. It is a great system for Web developers.
Debian Sid is now the base operating system which Skywave Linux builds upon. It is debloated, tuned, and tweaked for speed, so that you get the best possible computing performance. It works nicely on old laptops; it is super fast on a multi core, high spec PC.
For shortwave listening, weather satellite decoding, or airband monitoring, Skywave Linux is the system you want!
SuperSDR is a really cool client for KiwiSDRs, written in Python. Efficient, functional, and visually appealing.
KiwiSDR 2 is coming. See the article on AB9IL.net to know the changes. Hey, it is gonna be an even better radio!
Someone down there is enjoying AM radio in an internet SDR. Check the new WebSDR list at Skywavelinux.com.
AM talkradio / mediumwave listeners! If you could follow the night around the globe, what would you tune in? Here is a page which links to WebSDRs, where you can tune in all sorts of stations from dozens of countries.
Just pick a city, then a receiver site and enjoy the signals. It is real radio - crackles, fades, and all. If you live someplace where the streams are blocked, try these internet WebSDRs. Get some free, unblocked, and realtime access to the world.
Those guys reject democracy and prefer a white supremacist ethno state. The debate goes on for an hour while one guy advocates national socialism (nazism) while the other spews QAnonist conspiracies and Republican talking points.
Listen to a binaural recording made with two websdrs featuring lively political debate among ham radio operators in New England. They talk about how they don't like democracy and just want a white supremacist ethnostate instead. Then they get jammed by other stations who play music and sound effects.
The 75 meter ham radio band is 4chan for boomers.
KiwiSDR for Real Global Radio Streams
KiwiSDR is modern radio, democratized. Anyone with a PC, tablet computer, or smartphone can use KiwiSDR radio servers to tune real signals all over the world. It is the real deal: AM talk radio, shortwave, or longwave broadcasters. You don't need your own radio or antenna - just internet access.
But read the handbook, as KiwiSDR is a real radio and skills can help you operate it better and enjoy clearer reception!
KiwiSDR for the Win - DC to 32 Megs
How it works. How to listen on internet SDRs - receiving from antennas around the world. If you bought your own, how to set it up.
But the KiwiSDR democratizes shortwave and AM talk radio, where anyone in the world can tune the airwaves from hundreds of locations elsewhere in the world.
Get the handbook - you need the tricks and tips TODAY.
Here is some great photography and historical imagery of the NASA Deep Space Network. Perfect for your coffee table or waiting room. <grin> Take care that the space and radio nerds don't make off with it!
How to watch a Twitter broadsheet using TwitGrid and a wrapper script written in Bash. We do it in Skywave Linux v4.3 Flashback, with the pretty wallpaper and Neovim code editor.
It uses a Twitter bookmark file containing a topic and handles along with the script and an HTML file with some javascript. All in all, you can use Twitter as a big newspaper or tabloid rag with exactly your favorite topics and people.
I follow a lot of shortwave radio / sdr experts.
A solid hour of the Firedrake Jammer from the People's Republic of China. It is the whole 60 minute cycle of the Firedrake system, which jams by transmitting multiple layers of music and noise to cover up Radio Free Asia.
I like the recording as it was made on KiwiSDRs in synchronous AM mode, also splitting the upper and lower sidebands between the left and right audio channels. The sound image sort of dances with the propagation so the music seems to be in one place and the RFA announcer floats in a different place.
