Worldwide Remote "S meter" for our Stations

Nearly 35 years after my first night (*) i spent on topband dxing together with 
PT9DM and PT2GOP i imagined (**) a solution for our DX Signals simple enough 
for immediate use:

1) A number of STN´s capable to receive predefined QRG´s with a stable receiver
2) And capable to "broadcast" to website(s) the images of Digitally processed, 
received audio
3) With quite simple resources requirements (RCVR, PC, free Software and simple 
audio interface)

A network of participants with a simple setup will allow most DX operators to:

1) Evaluate his DX signals worldwide for propagation checking
2) Conduct Propagation Tests better than the ones i participated with Stewart, 
Paddy, Rolf , etc (Transequatorials)  

The specifics like World Zones, QRG´s, etc could be defined during the first 
phase of the "project".

(*) June 18, 1974 (WA8IJI, WB8APH, W2DEO, W2QD and CP1EU, with PT9DM 1st top 
band QSO); At this memorable 
      night PY1RO, Rolf was in US and didn´t known of our STN, designed by me 
for PT9DM using old NDB XMTR parts 
      and a Douglas C47 RCVR. My old call at this time was PT2FRU.
(**) i don´t known if it is being used by someone.
