Help!! I have a “crackling” noise in my repeater

Live Stream Down
**UPDATE**: A Bandaid fix has been applied and so far seems to help. Please give it a try and report back to admin@wa0sdo.org. Hope this helps Doc who I assume is deployed with FEMA.
Six of you streamed the net last evening (Oct. 2). Please give me some feedback on your audio quality so I can finalize the repair.
———————————————————————————————–
The Broadcastify feed, although still listed as “online” is down until further notice.
Somewhere along the way the live stream developed a loud screech on some but not all transmissions and I just noticed it. I find nothing wrong on my end and Broadcastify can find nothing wrong on their end. My trouble ticket even got escalated to the CEO of the company and she investigated herself and came up with nothing. The story of my life – “wow, I’ve never seen that problem before”!
Looks like it is going to take some down and dirty troubleshooting to find this one.

SPARK as charity on Amazon
I did it. Daren did it. Don did it. You should do it too! Free money for our club! Read on...
I successfully switched my charity on Amazon today to SPARK.
This means that every purchase I make on Amazon donates .5% of my purchase prices to the club. Doesn’t sound like much but when enough people do it, it could be significant. Get your family, friends and everyone at work to do it and the club could get a couple hundred dollars a year of free money with almost no effort!
Instead of shopping at www.amazon.com, log in to smile.amazon.com. Once you set your charity to Sedalia Pettis Amateur Radio Klub, all purchases that you make donate directly to SPARK. Takes all of 30 seconds to set up.
The smile website is identical to the www one, including prices.
"Dear AmazonSmile customer, Thanks for visiting AmazonSmile! Per your request, we have successfully changed the AmazonSmile charity you are supporting to Sedalia Pettis Amateur Radio Klub. Remember, if you want AmazonSmile to donate to Sedalia Pettis Amateur Radio Klub, you need to start each shopping session at the URL smile.amazon.com or with AmazonSmile turned ON in the Amazon Shopping app, and we will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases. Visit Your AmazonSmile Impact to see donation information and learn more about your charity. AmazonSmile: You shop. Amazon gives. smile.amazon.com"

Great day for our September POTA activation. We set up at the Katy Depot in Sedalia. Special thanks go out to Scott (KJ4MWF) for setting up his hf station. A 1st for the club was Don (KF0ARQ) who set up his station as well but worked ft8. We had a total of 21 members who came out and played a little radio today. We did have a few visitors while we were there and enjoyed talking to them about ham radio. We made several contacts all across the US and Canada. The big hit of the morning was Lori (KF0IHX) who brought a butter cake that was very delicious. A very good time was had by all.
Our September Parks on the Air event will be this Saturday 17th at the Katy Depot located at 600 East 3rd Street in Sedalia. We will meet there at 9am around the Caboose to start setting up. Please remember to bring your lawn chair. If you would like to setup your portable station that would be great as well. Great opportunity to hang out and fellowship along with working some hf radio. See everyone there.
