The Heartbeat of the Coyote

A lot of exciting stuff is happening as we get closer to the weekend, we have a live remote coming up this Saturday, which will be my first.
Eric will be adding Podcast to the website soon which will be neat to go with everything that is there.
I also got a peek at the window/bumper stickers, they look awesome!

**NOTICE**
There will be a major upgrade to the Shoutcast server soon, right now it has been running at bare minimum specs which is ok, the new upgrade will hopefully improve on performance.
Yes there is a small delay, thats caused by the nature of the internet.
We send the stream from the studio to Shoutcast, which has to "hop" many servers to get there first.
Then in turn, the stream has to "hop" servers back to the listener, all those "hops" create the delay, which can be as much from 30 seconds up to a minute or longer.
The New server will have more feeds availiable, right now we are doing 64 feeds.
Another new piece of equipment (actually several) is coming soon, but I can't say anything about it yet, so for now it's a secret.

I am grateful to be a part of the Coyote Gang and honored to contribute to our town.
All of this would not be possible if it wasn't for the listener's, without all of you we wouldn't have a true "local" radio station serving our community.
