‘on-the-air’ so to speak

Thanks to the efforts of Brian, K9QQQ – He asked for and was granted permission to add our club’s repeater onto a list of those repeaters, (and thousands of other re-broadcast radio signals,) that are on the web service – broadcastify.com – now there is some latency of 30 seconds plus, but then you’re in effect listening in real time to all of the activity on our repeater – a stand-in Bearcat 250 scanner supplied by George, KC9UIU, a Raspberry-Pi, some operator talent (that’s Brian) and well, as they say, wallah, we’re on the air – give it a listen here
