A Web SDR is a software-defined radio receiver, which allows to receive radio signals via the internet.

Furthermore plenty of so-called "Kiwi SDRs" are online. With the European Kiwi SDRs, reception of Radio Sylvia on 6070 and 3955 kHz should be possible. Try it - you can find a list of the active locations here.
