Thanks, George:

As a teenager, I promoted a Pommy ham radio club.

In the Middle East, I listened to an excellent receiver on my desk.

I found the experience of using WebSDR not so delightful. Compared with 
my recollection of having listened on an excellent Grundig. That was 
mainly to the BBC, Kol Yisrael and South Africa. Whereas I was puzzled 
by the technical layouts of the WebSDR station pages. And here I am 
talking about using the following Web site.

Thank you for the links.

I have lots to read!

Here I discuss using a Web site linking to SDR receiving stations' Web 
pages.

I was just wanting to dx.

{*DXing* is the hobby of receiving and identifying distant radio 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio> or television 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_television> signals, or 
making two way radio contact with distant stations in amateur radio 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio>, citizens' band radio 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_band_radio> or other two way 
radio communications.}
