[TenTec] Today'sStreaming Broadcast - 7.040

[Jim McDonald]

Paul,

It's cool.  I had to turn up the volume up pretty high but it sounded good.
I was listening to myself, running 50W I must confess.  The several second
delay was strange.  I am using Windows Media Player version 9.

Good Day Everyone.

Please give another try to listen to my Windows Media Player stream at
http://www.w8kc.com/stream.asx

Although I received a great many reports from people who enjoyed listening
to the audio stream, I likewise received a number of reports of errors.
Many of you reported seeing a message like "file not found."  It seems the
stream was a bit more popular than I thought, and the server was rejecting
more than 5 simultaneous connection.  That has been bumped up a bit.  You do
need to be running Microsoft Media player compatible systems greater than
version 6.  If you are behind a corporate firewall, the stream may also be
blocked, as is my case.

Later this week I'll be receiving a shiny new Dell Server (shameless plug, I
do own a lot of DELL stock).  It will be configured as a Windows 2003 Media
Server (SHUT UP, I own no MSFT!) and I'll experiment with that a tad.
Although it's been a lucrative career field (CSCO, LNUX, RHAT, INTC, AMD),
it's too much like my real world job (EDS).  At least getting the Ten*Tec
(privately held, dagnabit) Corsair audio out to you all makes it somewhat
more entertaining.

So once again, I offer for your listening pleasure today, the stimulating
sounds of the 40 meter QRP calling frequency, 7.040 MHz.  The receiver is a
Ten*Tec Corsair with a 1.8kc crystal CW filter.  The antenna is a full wave
dipole at 30 feet.

W8KC is located in the far-northern suburbs of metropolitan Detroit.

Please tune in and let me know what you think.... one way or the other.
