Welcome to the Maui WebSDR!


WebSDR News:


    Notice:  This WebSDR is looking for a new home!
  • Rob, AI6VN - the owner of this WeBSDR - has put the property on which this WebSDR is housed on the real-estate market.  With the sale of this property, this WebSDR will no longer have a home and will go offline unless other arrangements can be made.  The timeline of a transaction like this is difficult to predict, but is expected to be between the end of 2023 and March, 2024.

    We are looking for a new home for this WebSDR.  Obviously, a low RF-noise location is desireable, away from other (frequent) HF transmitters - and a decent Internet connection is a must!

    If you have a suggestion for a new home for this WebSDR, please contact Rob, AI6VN via email at:  rob (at) robinett.us

Operating tips:

  • You can zoom in and out using the controls under Waterfall view or by overing over the waterfall with the mouse and either drag or use its wheel to adjust it to see the entire frequency range on each band.

  • You can make this screen (text and waterfall) bigger by hitting the CTRL and then pressing the PLUS (+) key.  Conversely, pressing CTRL and the MINUS (-) key will make it smaller

  • If you are using CatSync or similar external programs and find that it doesn't work with this WebSDR - but it seems to work with other WebSDRs - add "?10hz" (not including the quotes, of course) to the end of the URL (e.g. http://mauisdr.com:8901/?10hz)
About this WebSDR

Operated by Rob, AI6VN, this WebSDR operates from Kahakuloa, Hawaii on the island of Maui at an elevation of approximately 400 meters (1300 feet) above sea level.

This system uses a 75 meter long Beverage antenna oriented northeast (approx. 50°) connected to SDRPlay receivers with the WebSDR software running under Linux.

This WebSDR is co-located with the Maui WSPRDaemon receivers, using the same antenna and Internet connection, and is provided for the benefit of amateurs and shortwave listeners - local and worldwide.

About the WSPRDaemon project:  

The WSPRDaemon project is a worldwide endeavor in which WSPR "spots" and receiver noise data is accumulated and made available in an interactive database for propagation analysis - both by amateurs and researchers.

For more information about this project visit the WSPRDaemon.org page.

This WebSDR will time out after 90 minutes if you don't adjust volume, change frequency, etc.  If it does time out, reload the page.

To invoke this page with a preset frequency and mode, append "/?tune=(freq kHz)(mode)" to the URL.  As an example, for 7088 kHz LSB, use:

http://mauisdr.wsprdaemon.org:8901?tune=7088lsb

Other WebSDR systems - Western U.S.:  KFS, Half-Moon Bay, CA  W7RNA, Pheonix, AZ and Northern Utah WebSDR

Eastern U.S.:   K3FEF, Milford, PA, NA5B near Washington DC and N4BBQ, Dalhonega, GA
