[GreenKeys] Halloween Broadcast Also Streaming at Standard 2125 Ma rk Freq

Fri Nov 1 18:58:20 EDT 2019

It may be due to the fact that the tones were reversed. As the 2125 stream was set up at the last minute I forgot that the software I use to generate the tones (fldigi) by default is set to USB instead of LSB. But most people seemed to be able switch their TUs accordingly to accomodate for the reversed tones. I thought most if not all TUs had the ability to reverse, but I've been drastically wrong before. I have yet to get a real TU of my own, so someome fill me in. The 1313 stream was set properly, though.

Sorry about that. 

To be honest, this was a bit of a trial run to prep for the Santa Tracker, which will be eight times as long. There are a lot of things that went wrong at the last minute like this that I will be able to watch out for next time.

I am glad many of you enjoyed it. It was fun to put together and fun to host. There are many people who had questions for me-- I promise I will get back to you in time. I think I've overworked myself with this and have started feeling under the weather, so I'll be a bit delayed.

My Heathkit HD 3030 would start my Model 15 and indicate a good signal, but the 15 just printed "garbage". Restarting the stream didn't help. When I switched to the ITTY site, it printed fine. I switched back and forth several times and received the same results. I started getting busy with Trick-or-Treaters and didn't get to diagnose the problem further.
