Audio Download of MARCO Grand Rounds

Chip Keister, N5RTF, has made audio of MARCO Grand Rounds available through his Website.

Here is the information from Chip:

Internet streaming audio of MARCO Grand Rounds is up and running again today. This is an MP3 icecast/shoutcast stream available by clicking the following link or pasting it into your favorite MP3 player:

http://tkeister.net:8000/stream.m3u or cut and paste http://tkeister.net:8000/stream

Winamp and VLC work best. Microsoft Media Player will work after a long buffering delay.

I have also set up an FTP site to download previous Grand Rounds audio. The link is:

ftp://tkeister.net User name is marco. Password is wb5d.

Files are listed by date. To download, you will have to have your browser set to active FTP. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the top toolbar, click Tools, then Advanced, then scroll down to an entry labeled: Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility). Uncheck this box, then click Apply, then OK. Go back to the file list and click on the desired archive, then follow the instructions from your browser.

This is not real audio on demand, but will allow people to catch Grand Rounds when they couldn't be on the air in person. Please send comments, positive or negative.


Note that real-time streaming is available during the net, held Sundayts at 10AM Eastern Time (1500 UTC in the Winter and 1400 UTC in the Summer).
