Central West Live Steam Notification by: Luke

Just to let everyone know the central west stream will be down for a few months. The reason been the removal of my external aerials and fixed mobile units inside my current living arrangements. Another person needed the room more than my radios. But that is life. It should be all up and going in a few months as a full time 24/7 stream. Sorry for any inconvenience and any questions please email them to myself at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Donate via paypal

After being asked by several people about how they could donate to help with the site and stream running costs, I have added a paypal donate button, even a dollar helps. Please do not fell obligated to donate; I just added it for those who do wish to.
