I have an SDR and experimented a little with it. What do you do with it or suggest for a beginner?

Are you active in ham too? I'm interesting in long distance comma but haven't got the license required yet.

I like to just search for weird shit. You can find pirate radio, airplane comms, police radio, or just listen to weirdos talk to each other on short wave. I liked trying to tune in to far away regular stations too.

I want to get into short wave! I'm not licensed yet, but I've alwaysed had a plan to do so and set up an antennae if i ever get my own place.

if you're interested in searching for number stations (something thats really easy to do with shortwave SDR), check out priyom for schedules of the number stations
