Software defined radio is a neat thing where you hook up an antenna to software and it allows you to use the antenna for a bunch of different things without needing specialized hardware.
There's web servers that you can access online that can make SDR really easy to play with, since all the controls are in a web page.
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ Like this one. The bright lines are radio traffic but could be anything from data packets to radio stations to ham radio operators to absolute nonsense. In theory depending on the location of an websdr website, you could probably pick up an fm radio station that you know.
In terms of goonstation, I think it might be fun if nerds could hook up an antenna to a laptop and snoop unencrypted radio channels, but also get complete gibberish when trying to snoop on security or command.
Maybe include radio traffic from zlevels or random spam like how emails work, so you could be looking at traffic at 500.1 and it's just the game server throwing random ad messages for discount dan products at you at some specific radio frequencies. Or to get really nerdy, include number stations.
