Hello everyone, as some of you might know, I have been working with sean for the past few months to put together a new JFK feed. I live really close to the airport, so it is the ideal place for a crystal clear feed. We finally got everything setup, the antenna, the computer, everything is set to run 24/7.
The feed is crystal clear, everyone is amazed of the sound quality, 10x better then the current feed.
I am currently a student, so cash is really tight right now. I had planned on feeding 24/7 with my computer, but didnt know that electricity would cost so much. To stream for a entire month it woulc cost close to 30 dollars. I have no problem paying for the equipment, internet, and everything else, but I need help with the electrical costs.
I know JFK is the most popular feed on the site, and better sounding quality would make it better listening for everyone, thats why I am asking here first.
If anyone could help out with the costs of running, please contact me and I will give you a link to the feed so you can see how crystal clear it is. I would really like to get this stream online, but I need help with the running costs. I would really appreciate any help with this so we can make the feed even better. Thanks

wow you do alot to keep your feed up and running great. :) Good Job!
:mrgreen:

How do you know it's gonna be 30 dollars? Do they have some kind of Electric Bill Generator out there that I don't know about. I know I had to leave my computer on for a month before I could decide if I had to shut it down everynight or keep it running. I have regularly kept it running 24/7 over the past 1.5 years and there wasn't that much change in the bill.

not the point lol
I want to start a NEW KJFK feed. I live 2000 feet away from the ILS, so the stream is clear as anything. I can give you a link to listen to individually, but I was told not to post it. Any help I get would be appreciated :D

Figure it out :) I pay 12 and a half cents per kilowatt per hour. I have a 320 watt computer, with a pentium 4 ht, 1 gig of ram, and a good fan running.
I used one of those online cost calculators, and thats what it told me. $27 per month.

Sounds GREAT, well done.

It will sound better, it has in the past. Something happened in the past few days to cause the quality to degrade a bit. The feeder is working on correcting it, so expect it to get better.

I hope its just a simple matter of grounding the scanner, about a week ago it was really crystal clear, even better then now.

Do you have alligator clips?
