PY2GN: Brazil’s First Public WebSDR Station

Radio transmissions have been with us for a long time. In the case of Brazil, since September 7, 1922. The golden age of radio was responsible for the launch of many artists and changed the behavior of society.

Along with commercial radio broadcasts, Brazilian amateur radio also played a large role, with high-level technicians who were also hams bringing communication to isolated corners of a giant country with continental distances such as Brazil.

But times have changed and other communication technologies have been developed. But amateur radio has integrated many of those changes, such as WebSDR, or software-defined radio accessible via the web. One of the most complete WebSDR servers in the world () is located in the city of Pardinho in São Paulo, Brazil.
