This is really lovely, thank you!

Possibly like a lot of other folks here, I discovered this phenomenon of "radio chatter" over "ambient electronic music" via http://youarelistening.to/ - I find it so helpful for concentration.

I came up with my own improvised "mixing desk" using tabs in a separate browser window (makes it easier to separate from your main work. The most common tab URLs are:

http://priyom.org/ - For listening to numbers stations (uses websdr below!) http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ - For basically any shortwave transmissions http://www.broadcastify.com/ - Various scanner feeds from all over http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/11888/web - A fascinating repeater that I love listening to

And finally, I overlay one or more of these over my own Spotify playlist of ambient sounds. It's public, so I'll plug it here. I put this on random and use a crossfade of 10 seconds.

Once again, thanks for this! Will be recommending it to folks today.
