Feed only broadcasting EDACS CC

[Tim]

Greetings All...

I am not sure who to report this too...but the Broadcastify feed for Watertown, WI Police Dispatch has been broadcasting the EDACS Control Channel for the better part of a month now. I have tried several ways to contact the broadcaster and no luck. Is there a way someone from RR or Broadcastify can get ahold of him that isn't public?

Click on the "report a problem" button.

Doesn't that only go to the feed provider, though? I submitted one twice via that route and got no reply (And it's still happening). Also tried the 'contact broadcaster' button twice with no luck.

How long has it been like that, and how long ago did you try contacting the feed provider? He or she may have just taken a day or two off.

Like I said in the original post, this started over a month ago and I first tried contacting them at that time. As an owner of 2 feeds on here, i know you can't always reply right away to the trouble reports...but over a month? That seems a bit extreme.

I've had my feed hit the control channel a couple of times, so I ran to correct it. However, I hardly ever go into the room where the feed equipment is located. Everything is very stable and battery backed up. If I were to go away the feed would run in perpetuity.

Maybe someone needs to do a welfare check on the volunteer.

The feed provider hasn't logged on to Radioreference since march 2014 so maybe he's not operating it anymore. When was the last time you heard it without the control channel?

It's probably been at least two months...if not more.

I also sent a PR and a PM when this was originally posted. Their emails are blocked.

I've gone ahead and terminated the feed - no response to me via any emails etc...
