hams.live is great for everyone, but especially in the following circumstances:
Space and/or local restrictions for antennas
Noise from local Radio Frequency Interference
Limited or no receive coverage in certain directions

The system provides better chances to receive transmitted signals than even the BEST receiver at your location, because it supports copying the signal from MANY locations. The system elements consists of client software on a user’s computer and web services running under a common domain. Users can identify, efficiently manage and connect to hundreds of freely available Software Defined Radio receivers (SDR Sources) worldwide. The SDR Sources could easily be accessed using only a web browser, and some have tried doing this. The chance of receiving information from a transmitter potentially increases greatly if there are SDR Sources in place at location(s) with favorable radio propagation conditions. Finding the best available SDR Source for a given situation has become a challenge for many. Setting common frequency and mode to match a given situation, adjusting settings and comparing signal strengths is complicated….but not with hams.live!
