I first became a feed provider for RadioReference.com on August 16, 2016.
I was providing two separate feeds. The remaining feed is “Stutsman County Amateur Repeaters“. The second feed was “Jamestown Regional Airport (KJMS)“. It was taken off the “air” in February of 2019. They were both connected to a single discone antenna that is mounted about 20 feet high (not very high), on the roof of my house. I run the remaining streaming software on a semi-dedicated computer (also used as an external hard drive) that I can remotely access from anywhere, if I need to.
The radio and the computer that is uploading the stream is connected to uninterruptible power supply. The network equipment in my house is also connected to a couple UPS units, so that if the power goes out, the streams will continue. The internet connection is at a asynchronous speed of 500 Mbps.
If the feed “goes down” for any reason, I am sent a message, right away, that lets me know about the problem. I understand that the feed is not “critical”, but I wanted to be able to fix any problems fast.
