WebSDR

A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet

perl: ack-1.90

DESCRIPTION: Ack is designed as a replacement for 99% of the uses of grep.
Ack searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named,
or the file name – is given) for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN.
By default, ack prints the matching lines.
Ack can also list files that would be searched, without actually searching them,
to let you take advantage of ack’s file-type filtering capabilities.
