History
This feed is provided by me (Isaac) from a scanner located north of Litchfield IL. The audio is streamed over the internet to broadcastify.com where their servers allow for a large number of users to listen from anywhere in the world. When I was 18 years old I along with many other people were heavily involved in the first responders for a small community. We had pagers, radios, and even the old fire siren uptown to notify us of a Fire. Our frequency was only used for our department and could not hear Macoupin 911. That’s when I started getting into scanners. I started my research on frequencies and met some of the people who still help me today. Back then, a scanner was not on a priority list for me and getting one was hard. Once, I finally got one and found out that you could broadcast it online I was interested in doing so for other people. I thought instead of people going out and buying a scanner, I could provide the frequencies and then stream for them without them having to buy or having the daunting task of programming one.

Online Scanner
This project originally started in 2009 when the scanner was first put on a Teamspeak server for listening. The online scanner was submitted to Radio Reference server on December 9th 2011. On October 15th 2012, Radio Reference started to host their online feeds on broadcastify.com. Currently most of the online feeds are being served by Broadcastify.com. On January 24th 2018, with enough funds from advertisements, I purchased a digital scanner, new antenna, and software for the online feed.
