Yes,
you found us. WCSR, Wild Camp
Shohola Radio, 640 AM and 91.9 FM Stereo, is sending our audio signal
and
studio web cam images, live to family and friends around the world on
the
Internet. Click on the first picture for more information about our
unique
summer camp activities.
Camp
Shohola and WCSR have been Webcasting and streaming
since 1993 and we are proud to be one of the first WEBCASTERS
in
the world. You may download any of the programs below to your computer
or personal MP3 player and listen whenever you wish.
Our
featured program for 2009 is
an interview with comic writer and illustrator Lora Innes of Columbus
Ohio. Her superbly written on line comics can be found on the
web
page www.thedreamercomic.com.
Here is the recorded
interview played on July 4th 2009.
Here is a recording of one of our Roller
Hockey games
from last summer.
We have
added two new dramatic programs
this summer, (4 and 5 below).
We
have now produced more than ten
radio dramatic productions called "Shohola Mystery Theatre".
Click
on a link to hear one of
our original feature programs.
1. The
COUNTselor of Cabin 13.
2. Attack
of the Giant Camp Creatures.
3. Recording
of the LIVE broadcast of "Camp Mars".
4. Attack
of the Giant Camp Creatures latest version.
5. Wolfman
Sam and the Breath of Death (Recorded Live).
The
first two programs were digitally
recorded in our television studio with post production by Joan Bogden.
The third program was actually broadcast "LIVE" at 10:00 PM. The fourth
program was a re-recording of a popular program previously written, and
the final program listed here was written by Joan and is based on a
popular
camp story. It was broadcast live on Sunday after five rehearsals.
Duncan Barger was NOT in the studio on #3, he reported in live over the
telephone while listening on the radio. All programs were written
produced
and directed by Joan Bogden with input and ideas from many of the
campers
featured on the shows. Recording Engineer was Tom Gibson for the first
two programs with Madison Smith running the broadcast console for the
third one. Credits
for the programs are recorded at the end of each show. We hope you
enjoy
listening to our dramatic productions. Where else can anyone learn the
art, science and skill of performing live radio drama, but Camp Shohola?
In addition to radio
broadcasting, portions of
the WCSR broadcast day can be heard on Camp Shohola Cable Television
Channel
98, on an audio broadcast in buildings through out Camp Shohola, on the
Internet
using a standard MP3 audio stream, and occasionally on a World
wide satellite broadcast on SatComm IV, transponder 7A, audio sub
channel
4.2 or 4.8.

Please check our other streams, if you can't find the programming you
are looking for. We have recorded or transmitted live
broadcasts of soccer,
basketball, hockey, chess, tennis, aquatic events, the WCSR Radio
Mystery
Marathon, and many other camp and Pike County events. We are able to
provide
ten, 24K audio streams through our servers, fed directly from the WCSR
master control console program line. We also provide limited
high
bandwidth streams for those able to receive them.
This service is
provided to allow family
and friends to listen to the announcers on the air at WCSR and IM
requests
directly to the studio. IM information is at the bottom of
the page.
Technical
information about our audio and video streams.
Since there is a
buffering delay on the audio
stream to reduce reception interruptions, the studio camera picture
will
not be synchronized with the audio. The amount of the delay will depend
on you connection speed.
The web cam delay
is about 1 second with the
refresh rate dependent on your connection speed. You CAN see and hear
at
the same time on a 56k modem, although the refresh rate will be slow on
the web cam.
Our show times are
approximate. We will program
recorded shows or rebroadcast another of our stations when no one is
programming locally.
In an effort to conserve
bandwidth and not exceed
our transfer limits, the audio stream will stop in ONE hour.
If you would like to continue to listen, please click your play button
again.
Please DO NOT access the audio or video
feeds unless
you are sitting at your computer watching and/or listening.
Here are LINKS
to the audio stream data pages which
contains technical information
and a play list of prerecorded songs when we program directly from the
computer. If any of the pages are not loading, it probably means the
server is not running. The servers are usually turned off during severe
Pocono Mountain thunderstorms, at night, and occasionally for
maintenance.

How
to listen to one of our streams:
Would you like to listen to WCSR,
but are unable to receiver one of our broadcast signals?
We invite you to listen to one of our Internet Broadcast Audio
Streams. Just click on one of the links above to listen to AM, FM, or
the low bandwidth audio stream.
If a
link doesn't take you anywhere, it probably means a computer crashed,
it is late at night, or we have shut down the network because of an
electrical thunderstorm.
Please call our Washington DC line if you have any questions at (202)
280-7901.
You can also contact us at (717) 577-4049, for the FM
control or
AM
Master Control Room, or to ask the engineer to re-start the stream so
you can
listen.
Our studio lines are (570)
371-4759 or (570)
371-4760, please ask the operator for the WCSR studios at extension 64
for AM or 92 for FM.
The emergency contact numbers are (717) 845-5086, (717) 818-7962 or
(717) 968-8277.
After you click on the link below, you may have to click on
the
'LISTEN' button at the top of the page. We also program a third music
stream for listeners that do not have high speed Internet service.
Use this link for our low bandwidth audio stream if you are using a
dial-up modem service.
We are streaming using standard
MP3 audio streams. You should be able
to listen using Winamp, Real Audio, Quicktime, Windows Media Player or
any other MP3 player. Unfortunately, Windows Media Player does not
recognize the
'listen.pls'
extension. You will have to cut and paste the URL into the player,
without the extension, as described below.
Please stop your player, when you are not actually listening, to help
Camp Shohola save bandwidth and allow others to listen. (We do have
limited resources.)
Read
this section if you are having problems.
Our standard MP3 streams can be played using many different
media players for
Widows, Macintosh, and *nix operating systems.
Our MP3 streams, available in the .pls format, will play natively in
Winamp, iTunes, Real Player or most audio media players. If
you have one of these programs just
click
one of the "listen live" buttons at the top of the page
to listen to one of our streams. If you must use Microsoft's Windows
Media
Player, you will need the latest version with all updates and patches
installed, and then follow the instructions below. We suggest
installing the latest free
version of Winamp.
The web address to install one of the free version
is http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php.
To use the FULL or the LITE version, (recommended) click on the
download button at the bottom of the column of your choice, then save
and run the setup program. Please listen to a low bandwidth
stream if your computer is not connected to a high fidelity audio
system. All of our streams have a listener limit and will
terminate after one hour of listening. Click on your play
button
to continue listening. It is possible you will not be able to
listen if all of the servers are full.
These links are direct audio feeds
from computers in the
radio station. It is the responsibility of the announcer on the air
to stream audio on the Internet. If the stream is not connecting, the
announcer
chose not to stream audio on the Internet, OR your
ISP will not allow
high bandwidth audio and video streams. Additionally, some companies
and organizations
will set up fire walls to deny the reception of audio and video streams
to reduce bandwidth consumption by blocking ports 8000 to 8999, the
audio and video streaming ports. Our streams might also be
turned
off briefly, for computer or network maintenance, and during
frequent
severe Pocono Mountain thunderstorms.
How
to open one of our audio streams using Microsoft's Windows Media Player:
With Windows Media
Player you have to "manually" enter the URL, without the .pls
extension, for the stream to play.
- To manually enter the file, open Windows Media Player,
select the menu option "File", then choose "Open URL".
- Highlight and copy one of the following lines,
the first line is for FM 24K , the second line is for FM stereo
48K,

Internet resources.

Shohola, using up
