... back on Feb 8th I sorta projected maybe 70-75 by April 8th... wow...
Mike, I remember some time ago when you put a message out there about trying to do this very thing. If I recall correctly (which sometimes I don’t) there was not a lot of response. I know I responded with interest but did not have adequate software to stream – which you in turn help me resolve.
Now look where we – you – are, this is fantastic. Well done.
Thanks... but this community has done this... this is a WE thing... wouldn't happen without that... all I did was instigate it...and folks started jumping behind the idea... sacreyweather and satcop... along with behind the scenes support from saratogaWX, jmcmurry, chappelledpc, heatcats, tim273, and others... a special kudo to codegod, for setting up that icecast server, just for this community to use... I'm not sure it could be easier...
But folk like you make it click...
...there are also many 'anonymous' streamers who've kicked in, and wish to remain so... several don't even have PWS stations or sites, but they've got Wx Radios!
...Now, there's an example.. John S just emailed an updated coverage map with new data he's had only a few minutes... that's what makes this so darn cool...
..we've got some things to do... but right now, the important thing, the gathering of streams, is being done... all the polishing and presentations / modifications, etc will come as we can, but what a base you folks have provided!
...somewhere down the road, we'll save a life... some person trapped at an office computer with no WxRadio handy may just be able to alert their coworkers in time... never know. If nothing else, maybe we can use the platform to help promote the radios...
NOAA thought enough of this project to authorize the use of that restricred trademark, and that speaks volumes.
So, pat yourself on the back. Once. Gently. And don't break your arm. The community behind this is what's cool.
Everybody gets a REAL Gold Star!
...that actually means something...
...and has class...
