Ernesto is messing with our broadcast. NY is being hammered and it is effecting our OUTPUT. Hopefully Ernesto will move out to sea for this weekend.

Usless here. I wasted a lot of time trying to get it. Too bad it is a requirement not to have the entire show broadcast. Will it be played again later.

The server for steelradio.com is in New York, right in the middle of storm Ernesto. The storm has caused many problems with the broadcast. Hopefully it will pass and all will clear up.

Plus according to the meter, over 1 million were trying to log on at the same time.

Bill-It was breaking up here so much that I couldn't much hear anything with all the Buffering.

I was lucky enough to hear Buddy Emmons on 2 songs and that was a pleasure. He has The greatest tone of them all. He has Still got it all together, and hasn't lost a thing..Wow! I wonder what equipment he was using?...al Image

Hi Bill. you folks did a great job mixing the sound to the web for what I could get. I only could get a little of Buddy and Ron with lots of pauses in there. Thanks for the great pictures you posted also.

Bill

I'm trying here in ND, but all I get is intermittent buzzing and background noise. There's the faintest trace of indistinguishable music in the background, but that's all.

I only have dial-up - does that prevent me getting it, or is it the weather?

Thanks - have a great weekend!

Roger, I'm getting the same thing with a high speed cable connection.

2:20 Eastern time - It finally cleared up and I just caught the last part of Herby Remmington's set.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jack Stoner on 02 September 2006 at 11:11 AM.]</p></FONT>

Now I'm getting moments of clear speech, but with big gaps (is that 'buffering'?) - almost unlistenable, it's so frustrating.

Right now, Tom Bradshaw's daughter seems to be speaking - on and off!

What do I do to get it continuously?

Thanks, Jack...
