PSK Reporter
Yesterday afternoon, for the first time, I looked at PSK Reporter, an amateur radio signal reporting and spotting network. The platform works by collecting digital signal reports from software clients such as WSJT and FLDIGI then mapping them to show which stations are being heard by other clients.
The map below shows the signals sent/received by VK5PAS over a 24-hour period.

A very neat website that shows where your digital signal is being heard.
