2008 Writes the first WebSDR software
Pieter-Tjerk de Boer writes the software behind the first WebSDR at the University of Twente, a shortwave receiver anyone can tune through a web browser. The receiver was set up at the university radio club at the end of 2007 and announced publicly in April 2008; the club ETGD runs it. Suddenly the Buzzer is listenable from a phone in Sao Paulo or Seoul.
2010 A network of listening ears
The WebSDR idea spreads into a worldwide network of internet-connected receivers. Anyone can now tune the exact frequency of the Buzzer from a browser.
