My Broadcastify Feed Setup

[KC9NEG]

Here's my feed (see signature) setup... It's in a vacant upstairs office at our business. I bought the PC (a used Dell OptiPlex i5) at a local flea market for $180. The radio (at left on table) is a Uniden BCD536HP. It's streaming audio and tags over Wi-Fi (via dongle, directly under monitor). Yep, that's where the antenna currently works best after much experimentation. It's a Laird Y8063 sitting on an empty Kleenex box

5 years and over $1000 total investment later, that's what my little piece of this segment of the hobby has evolved into. I've enjoyed every minute of it (even the largely justified, at times, listener complaints) and wouldn't trade a minute or a dollar spent on it for anything else. I hope to be doing something similar for a long time and that everyone can continue to enjoy it.

I'm listening to your feed as I type this, and it sounds really clean and clear. Good job!

Also, kudos on the most original antenna mount that I've ever seen. ;-)

Thanks for the compliments!

Hehe, someday I'll rig up a stand from PVC, or, more importantly, I'll rig up some sort of remote-controllable (via internet) antenna rotator/axial twister (it's proven necessary, at times, to attenuate more than the radio's ATT function can by rotating the elements toward horizontal).

NVM, got it

Good looking set up.

Thanks... The photo's outdated; I've moved the antenna LOL

What did you mean when you said streaming over wifi? The pc is streaming the data over wifi to a host machine for control?

Are you using a noise gate on your feed? The dead silence between comms sounds GREAT. I've been trying to get there, but haven't yet.

This is how everything is set up. Uniden and RadioFeed have really raised the bar when it comes to offering up tools that help put a feed online:
