BANGOR: STREAMING TO IRAQ

Bangor-based ChristianNetcast.com, which provides streaming radio technology to both Web-based and traditional Christian radio stations, has helped bring the first English-language radio station to soldiers stationed at a base just outside Baghdad, Iraq. Army Staff Sgt. Scott Helmann approached the company about helping him take the stream from a Christian station broadcasting from Helmann’s hometown, Rapid City, S.D., and rebroadcasting it from a 40-watt FM transmitter set up in Helmann’s living quarters. The rebroadcast station, known at the base as “Alive Radio,” is provided free by ChristianNetcast.
