I can understand that, and you're welcome. And I did warn you about it eating up your time. Before you know it, the dog has forgotten his name and your spouse has gone to Baja Mexico.
Meh, it's probably worth it.
Do not click the second link. No, don't do that. The second link is an index of other online SDRs. There are quite a few others and they are geographically disparate and offer different frequencies. Do not click that link! Do not bookmark that link! It is very, very bad for you.
I haven't tested these, but someone down the thread linked to some other software. By following that link, I found another site. That site, being evil, is an index for more online SDRs that use the other software.
You definitely don't want to click this link either:
I am going to make some lunch and then click that link. I'll do it so that you don't have to. I want to see what those radios offer and I want to see how well the software functions.
Remember, don't click the second link in my original post. In fact, you should probably burn your computer to the ground, it's the only way to be sure.
It really is addictive. It's a great way to experience part of what it's like to be a ham radio operator. Pretty soon, you'll be over at one of the ARRL sites, taking the practice exams, and applying for a test date.
Why yes, yes those keywords are unintentional. I wouldn't want you to go searching and find a new hobby, or anything like that.

I'd get a license but I'm happy just listening. It's already a time sink. I can't imagine what it would do to my free time if I actually had a way to respond.
Some of them do crazy stuff like use the moon for signal propagation... I'm not kidding. They will intentionally bounce signals off the moon, and do it successfully, to do two way communication. It's so common, they have a on acronym for it. They call it EME, Earth Moon Earth. Sometimes, they do it off Venus.
So, once you get the bug you can kiss your free time goodbye. But, you'll have a lot of new friends and be able to do cool stuff - including helping out in emergencies. Hams only provide communications, not actual rescues or anything.
Don't worry, you'll learn all about it when you join your local radio club. It's destiny, you might as well not fight it.
