yea.. we got it the first 6 times. first off.. get a true domain.. then maybe people will take your station seriously. Im not trying to sound mean or anything but having a tripod domain is kinda lame. A domain name costs 6 bucks.<P ID="signature">______________

I re-worded the post, so the search engines could pick it up correctly.
And what difference does it make what domain I use.
IT WORKS and it cost NOTHING!
)
Must be doing something right, Ive had some listeners.
Must Be the Music, its very diverse.
makes for better listening, than the same tired old songs, drug out by commercial radio Repeatedly again and again.

Scratchy!! Im not playing any "VINYL" )
The Stream is going out at 32 kbps , so its not going to be CD quality.
it was set at that level, so Dial-up listeners could hear it.
OH MY! I had a whopping 4 listeners today and one even listened for 6 hours.
Dam I better start taking this seriously)
Actually This station is done more as a "Hobby"
Im not in it to make any money.
its just for fun.
I put a wide variety of music on there, so if you don't hear something you like, you will be sure to hear something good eventually.
Anyway's
Its all about the MUSIC!!!
and when you get your radio station up, how about posting the URL, So I could give a listen.

It will be on the A.M dial soon, with coverage up to 10 miles in each direction. Thats much easier than internet broadcasting, all you have to do is plug it in, and flip a switch, and find a clear frequency. BTW, if you dont write down the url, you will have a hard time finding it again, or remember it, using WMA, they have to make that as difficult as possible.

Thats really cool that you will be on "Terrestial radio"
easier for listeners to find you.
it's a bitch to get the word out if your just an internet broadcaster.
everybody wants money, just to have you listed on there site.
Why did you decide on AM instead of FM?
I tried my hand at FM broadcasting back in 1994, using a mail order transmitter kit, from the back of "Popular Communications" magazine.
was transmitting with a whopping 3 watts in mono at 91.9 fm
from the top of a 11 story apartment complex in cleveland,ohio)
I don't think I got any further than 7 miles out.
Then I did Live365 back in 2002, but they were nothing but problems.
ran across "Shoutcast" and thought "Hmm, this could be fun"
you think my station sounds scratchy, you should have heard it before running an equalizer, its a bitch to get a 32k stream to sound half decent.
but Im not a Big Commercial Station, Im just one guy in Arizona, with a shitload of music on his hard-drive)
I truthfully don't see how these commercial internet stations make any money.
scanning Shoutcast I see not many have any listeners.
and some of them, must be paying a fortune for there bandwith.
I have one dedicated line and computer, set aside for this station.
and even that cost me money.
but I leave it running 24/7.
I will do the occasional re-boot every other day and maintenance, so if its ever down, it will be back up.
It was down Wednesday night because we had one "Kickass" lightning storm.
my ISP went down.
anyway's GOOD LUCK with your radio Station.
watch out for RF Burns) they sting!

I went with A.M, Because I already have an F.M setup, and it only covers a few Blocks. With A.M I can cover Several MORE MILES, and it will be perfectly Legal.
