HN comment orderIf you find "wave hunting" this interesting but don't have a SDR / receiver of your own, there are plenty of (free to use) WebSDRs to get started: http://websdr.org/
On a whim I brought out my SDR tonight for a bit of low frequency exploration. I found a wonderfully odd signal at 157 kHz and decided to look it up on sigidwiki - only to discover that the page was intensely unstable. Now, an hour later I saw this post on the front page of HN, Fermi’s exclusion principle must work for hobbies as well it seems.
