Building a global network of open source SDR receivers

hamster_nz writes: A fellow Kiwi is attempting to crowdfund a world-wide network of Open Source Software Defined Radio receivers. Once in place this will allow anybody anywhere in the world to scan the 0 to 30MHz RF spectrum from the comfort of their HTML-5 web browser. Built on top of the Beaglebone, the "KiwiSDR" RF board also includes a GPS receiver front-end, which will allow timing between receivers to be correlated, giving a lot of options for projects, like: long baseline interferometry and lightning detection. Prototypes are already deployed, and I've been RXing in Sweden, Australia and New Zealand.

The KiwiSDR design is detailed on http://www.jks.com/KiwiSDR/, as is a link to the project's Kickstarter page.
