This WebSDR system covers all U.S. amateur HF, MF and LF bands, 2 meters, the bottom 1 MHz of 6 meters, and several shortwave broadcast bands - see the Technical Info page for more details.

Covered by this server:

• The 2 meter amateur band using a 5 element Yagi pointed (more or less) south, allowing reception of many repeaters and stations in the Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Box Elder counties - which includes the areas from Salt Lake to north of Brigham City.
• The 90, 60, 49, 41, 31, 25 and 19 meter shortwave broadcast bands.
• Also provided by this server is redundancy for the very popular 80/75 and 40 meter amateur bands if WebSDR1 (Yellow) goes offline, using these lower-performance receivers.
• The 60 and 30 meter amateur bands are covered by the "60-49M" and "31-30M" meter receivers, respectively.

2 meter reception significantly improved:

In August, 2022 the 2 meter antenna - a south-pointing, 5 element Yagi - was relocated away from the (RF-noisy!) building and to a much greater height on the tower with the beam antennas. Doing this almost completely eliminates all QRN from computers, networking gear and switching power supplies, lowering the noise floor considerably.  The added height offers better signals due to the reduction of Fresnel (and other) effects, allowing an estimated 15 dB or so improvement in overall performance.

In late July, 2023 the filter/amplifier module was also relocated to the remote tower, further reducing the noise floor and improving reception.
