All,

The computer that streams 444.500 to the internet has not changed and does not need to be changed. The feed is still live.

What changed is how people listen to it.

Broadcastify (same company as RadioReference) retired the old embed player that let a feed play inside someone else’s website. They also released a new listening app called Squawster. If you click our old Broadcastify button or link, many phones now open Squawster instead of the Broadcastify web page. That is why it suddenly looks like a police-scanner app.

The stream itself is unchanged:

We will update the club website so the old embed/button is replaced with something, perhaps just a simple link that opens in a new tab.

If you want the new app, it is free in the Apple and Google stores and uses the same Broadcastify feeds. Premium Broadcastify still works as before.  If you want the new app, it is free in the Apple and Google stores and uses the same Broadcastify feeds. If you already pay for Broadcastify Premium, that still works as before — no ads, feed archives, and the extra player features on Broadcastify.com. You do not have to buy anything new for our repeater feed to keep working.
