I've noticed over the last few months Trenton VOLMET on 6754 kHz occasionally goes off the air for several days at a time. Over the last week (maybe more?) It's been back on, but with a consistent stream of "No report received".

I usually listen between 0400-0600 UTC, and notice that Gander and Shannon are operating normally. Anyone have any insight as to what is happening with Trenton?

Did it move down to 6860? I fell asleep soon after posting this. Certainly a good signal, I didn't notice that it was so wide.

DragonOS looks interesting it really includes a lot! Guess I could do a lot more with SDR and get better with Linux. Actually this looks like a possibly perfect solution and an entirely new rabbit hole for me to jump down! I had an old laptop with a VM running Xubuntu that I played with for a while, but it was lost in an apartment flood. As I recall it was pretty easy to setup and was stable.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for this. Looks like I will need Linux or RPi for it. I have limited experience with Linux and none with Pi, though I don't think that is a huge barrier.

I can only guess for WebSDR there is no repository or place to download software. From what I've read it sounds like you have to get it from PA3FWM

Equipment / Kiwi, WebSDR availability or alternatives?

I've toyed with the idea of occasionally setting up an online SDR. Had my eyes on a Kiwi, but I never got one due to needing a wired internet connection (I could do it, but would really prefer wifi). It's now discontinued and the Kiwi 2 may be a while before it comes out. I'm not sure if I could setup a WebSDR with my RSP2, or what the requirements are. Are there any alternatives? I know that SDRConnect and (I think) console have a server option but I like the idea of being to connect with a simple web browser on any device.
