Here are two websites I am sure some of you know about for remote dx'ing. 

The first: 

globaltuners.com allows you to register, for free, and tune in on different receivers placed around the world. the user has full usage of the receiver and can tune, at will, to any band or any station in real time. this is listening only and your time per radio is limited to one hour 


The second: 

remotehamradio.com allows you to register and use, this is pricy, a number of remotely placed stations around the world. the charges are by the minute and one has to purchase an Elecraft K3 remote rig to actually control the radio, via IP, as one is using it. There is an annual subscription rate. Believe it or not, the subscription rates were in the thousands up until September 1 of this year. Still it is $100, for a limited access to some of the stations, or $1000 per year with full access to all of the stations. Both plans charge usage by the minute.
