There was a suggestion of just putting Broadcastify to a private node and connecting/disconnecting as needed. This way there is always a feed.
So, I’m trying to add a private node. I followed the instructions here: Private nodes - AllStarLink Wiki
rpt.conf
[Nodes]
62499 = radio@127.0.0.1/62499,NONE
1800 = radio@127.0.0.1/1800,NONE
Note: I also tried radio@192.168.1.xxxx (the Pi’s IP addr), without success.
[1800] /(node-main/)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Another node settings here ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;startup_macro = *8132000
;morse = morse_1998 ; Sample morse stanza for node 1998
duplex = 1
hangtime = 400
;rxchannel = SimpleUSB/1800
In extensions.conf
[globals]
HOMENPA = 999 ; change this to your Area Code
NODE = 62499 ; change this to your node number
;NODE = 1800 ; private node
[default]
exten => i,1,Hangup
[radio-secure]
;exten => ${NODE},1,rpt(${EXTEN})
exten => 1800,1,rpt,1800
When I tried to connect with rpt fun 1800 *362499 I got nothing. I also can’t connect to another public node.
When I tried to connect: rpt fun 62499 *31800 I got this: (success to another public node)

I know I did something wrong 
Once I can connect I’ll move the outstreamcmd to the from the [62499] (node-main) stanza to [1800] (node-main) stanza.
