[NLRS] Arecibo

[tom ring]

K1RQG will be streaming audio through the taring.org website during this event. 
 I do not have a sched for when he is going to do this.

If you go to my site now, you will see his link is currently inactive.  It will 
become a real link when his audio is streaming.  The stream limit was bumped 
from 40 streams to 80 since people were practically fighting over getting in 
during the first Arecibo run.  I don't know if 80 will be enough, but I can't 
do too much more than that and also leave BW to update the web page for people 
trying to get in.

If you want to get a leg up, go to my page and take the link on how to manually 
link Windows Media Player to the stream.  This will save you having to do it if 
your windows install is goofy about .m3u links, about 25% or so seem to be.  
Then when the event occurs you will just have to select the URL from the 
"previous" list on WMP.  This all varies somewhat from version to version, but 
shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

SSB QSOs may continue for 30 minutes to an hour, if the QSO rate remains high. The mode will be shifted to CW as soon as it is judged that higher QSO rates would result.
