Located in Enshede, Netherlands, at the University of Twente, there is a fascinating Software-Defined Radio (SDR) system that offers an extraordinary radio experience. SDR replaces traditional hardware components with software processing, enabling the reception and transmission of a wide range of radio frequencies and modulation schemes. This particular SDR radio receiver is connected to the Internet and is open to the public, controlled entirely through a computer interface without physical control knobs.

With its signal spectrum and waterfall display, this SDR radio receiver allows users to explore a vast world of radio stations. Covering frequencies from 0 to 30 MHz, it offers exceptional sensitivity and enables the reception of very low frequencies as well as two AM broadcast bands. In Europe, the lower AM band spans from 148.5 to 283.5 KHz, while the higher AM band ranges from 526.5 to 1606.5 KHz. It is worth noting that the spacing between stations is 9 KHz, unlike the 10 KHz spacing used in North America.

Operated by the amateur radio club ETGD at the University of Twente, this SDR radio has been on the air since 2008, making it the first WebSDR radio of its kind. Although it experienced a period of downtime, it was reactivated in July 2012, providing enthusiasts with the opportunity to listen to an array of captivating radio stations.

The SDR radio in Enshede, Netherlands, is managed within the University of Twente's Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS). The university is renowned for its expertise in engineering, science, and technology, housing various research institutes and groups dedicated to wireless communication and radio technologies. These facilities, including laboratories equipped with software-defined radios, antennas, and related equipment, serve academic purposes, research projects, and collaborations with industry partners.

One of the exciting aspects of this SDR radio system is the ability to listen to captivating radio stations from around the world. For instance, you can tune in to Russia's time signals RWM at 4996, 9996, and 14996 kHz. Additionally, there are other intriguing time signals to explore, including CHN BPM Xian, HWA WWVH, KOR, CHU Canada, and many more.
