This reminds me... I've been wanting to write two apps: one to scan SDR looking for CW, RTTY, and other digital(ish) modes and then send an alert to me (SMS, email, or push notification) that QSOs were found, along with a separate alert type when it finds a CQ call. I don't suppose anyone has done an app like that, have they?



SDRSharp has a bunch of plugins to scan bands and stroll through bands. You could pipe that to CW Skimmer and figure out how to get the data out of CW Skimmer (telnet server, log file, etc).


There is something already like this: http://www.reversebeacon.net/main.php

I use this to see if my antenna is effectively transmitting any kind of signl: http://www.reversebeacon.net/main.php

The devices, which are spread all over the world, watch the whole cw band.


Sounds similar to some of the CW Skimmers..

http://www.dxatlas.com/cwskimmer/ is the primary one, however its pay and windows only
