For New (ALL) Hams, How to Tell What an Amp Will Do For Your Signal

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

An even better methodology for determining if the power, antenna, and
propagation is good for the type of operating you do is to use the wealth of
internet-connected receivers around the world to see how your signal
compares to other signals received in that particular geographical area.
Contester, casual operator, QRPer, QROer. it works for every case.  Simple.

This newbie (I've only been licensed for 60+ years) would like to know how
and where one can access them and are they tunable remotely to check signals
outside the ham bands?

The reverse beacon network is really neat.

http://www.reversebeacon.net/

You can set up to see a map (in the show/hide options) and you can set up to look for specific calls. Great when you are waiting for that DX to come on and to see where they have propagation.

To see how you are doing, set your call in for the DX stations call and then call CQ.

The first site I ran across where you could listen to an SDR (which tuned
the ham bands) is http://www.w4ax.com/ but more recently I found
http://www.websdr.org/ which has a more extensive list of SDR's connected to
the Internet. The first entry on the websdr.org site is for an SDR that
covers a frequency range from 0 to 29.16MHz.

Thanks to all who have responded.  I'll check it out as soon as I finish
setting up the station after a major downsizing move (the living
quarters, not th station! ).
