Concept2 Forum

We've finished setting up the webcast pages - and put a test file in place to help you test your computer set up prior to race day.<br /><br />To register for the webcast visit:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/webcast/register.asp" target="_blank">http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/webc ... asp</a><br /><br />Once you have registered you can book mark the crashb webcast page. I've put a test file in place (a race from the Euro Indoor Rowing Championships) so that you can determine if your computer is configured correctly to view the race. The volume of this particular file is very low - so don't worry if you have a hard time hearing the sound.<br /><br />see you in boston!<br /><br />-bill

I am computer illiterate so is the test telecast supposed to have a constant clicking noise as when you click on a new area of a Web page or am I doing something wrong<br /><br />Otherwise the reception is great.
