// alt.msx.gay // the about page

let's just say this: a kid received an idea and
had way too much free time. drop that kid in the
middle of a pandemic and this happens.

alt.msx.gay is the result of a radio nerd, namely
iowaneasfan, having a bit of free time and an
idea. this idea involved a media player, a cheap
ass vps, and an installation of icecast 2.

this is also the result of giving someone access
to the streams of various college radio stations.
put them in an area where reception to a college
station is weak at best, and they'll find a way to
enjoy their college radio music.

give the same kid an emergency alert system
encoder, and now they have even more of a reason
to take to the virtual airwaves.

give that kid too much free time, and the town of
200 they live in is now its own radio market,
served by someone with a mixer board and a bit of
music on repeat.

who knows? maybe that kid will help keep an actual
radio station up and running in the future. maybe
they'll run their own.
