I've been streaming live audio for a couple years using darkice for the
encoding and the Shoutcast server for streaming. It's been reliable and
easy to set up. I'm also using streamripper to archive the streams to
disk in case anything intersting happens.

Since I'm using the Shoutcast server, you can also locate either stream
by searching for "Anchorage" or "Alaska" at http://www.shoutcast.com/
Of course you also have the option of keeping the streams private.
