 Special Feed: New Year's Eve 2021/22  Continuing with a W2LIE.net tradition-
"Listen to the Ball Drop - From Behind the scenes" returns for another year, and will continue to do so each and every year!
Listen to ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021 from the Director's Chair.
Since 2007, W2LIE.net has brought the action from Times Square to you via our live feeds.
If we can hear the director link, you won't be hearing it "as it happens" due to streaming delays - but the sync should be close enough with Satellite delays for you to enjoy hearing the action while watching the live event!
Also in the feed is NYPD and DSNY.
Feed will be modified from time to time to bring you the best action from Times Square.
The feed will be live in the afternoon 12/31/21, and run well past midnight.
In previous years there was plenty of action on the feed after the sun went down. Camera crews and the director were hunting for "filler shots" to record and use during the live broadcast of the night's events.
Unfortunately, as of the last three years, it seems like the the link is now using a local repeater instead of the Citywide repeater. If we are unable to locate the audio, we'll continue to operate the feed by broadcasting DSNY, NYPD, and OEM operations.
How You can listen to the feed:
As in previous years, the feed on my "/special" stream.
From your computer: goto my Feed page at [link]
From ProScan: server=remote.w2lie.net port=5005
From your mobile device: download Scanner Radio Deluxe (apple) or Scanner Radio (android) and browse for W2LIE and look for the special feed.
73 and Happy New Years

Live Feed Upgrades  I know it seems like things here have been quiet, but I assure you that we are still maintaining all the hardware on the back end of the live feeds and website. Updates for 2021: - A new computer was put into service and the old live feed PC hosting the NCFD-East, SCFD-West, NCPD, and SCFD feeds was finally retired
- The new computer runs windows 10 and has enough hoursepower to do a lot more than running a few scanner radio feeds
- Stay tuned for what is coming next as far as live feeds
 - Due to a plumbing issue in the basement, the 'monitoring post' was dissasembled and relocated to the opposite side of the basement this past June
- New antenna line had to be quickly run across the basement in order to continue to bring the live feeds
- NCPD Feed has offically been retired. There is no sense in keeping that feed around.
- Due to the new PC not accepting the old PC's PCI hardware, we had to come up with another solution. Amazon's $5 USB Sound cards were a quick and temporary "fix".
- New Years Eve - a new Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 was installed as our new audio interface device.
We still have plenty of upgrades planned for the site as time allows. Right now, we are stil focusing on " Scanner School", which is a weekly podcast and a monthly YouTube Live Q&A platform I run. You can check out the Podcast website here: https://www.scannerschool.com We've launched a few courses as well on how to use Software Defined Radios and will continue to launch courses into 2022 and years to come. We are also growing our YouTube channel over at Scanner School, so be sure to subscribe to that here: https://www.scannerschool.com/youtube Finally - we have a Discord Server up and running.

Superstorm Sandy Feeds  It is hard to believe that Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island as hard as it did. Many of us were glued to the TV and were monitoring weather reports trying to keep track of where the storm might track. Nobody could guess just how hard this area would be hit. Nobody expected the storm surges would be so great. Nobody expected lines at the gas station, or to be without power for so long.To mark the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we will be replaying the NCPD, SCPD, NCFD-East, and SCFD-West feeds in "real time". The feeds will begin at 1130hrs on 10/28 and run through 23:30hrs on 10/31. The feeds will run in time sequence as they would have been broadcasted a year ago.The four feeds will be running as follows:SANDY-NCFDSANDY-NCPDSANDY-SCPDSANDY-SCFDYou will be able to listen to the feeds on your computer by using one of the links on our Live Feed Page, or via the Scanner Radio app on iOS or Android Platforms.We hope all of those who have been hit hard by this storm have recovered.
