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

Fri Nov 1 19:56:46 EDT 2019

I copied small amounts of the transmission (just fragments) using a bash
script, which needs some work for reliability but nearly does the job.

curl -N -s http://tty.nerdology.org:8000/livetty | sox -V1 -t mp3 - -t wav
- remix - | minimodem 45.45 --stopbits=1.5 -M 1313 -S 1483 -5 -i -a -q
--rx-one -R 11025 -f -

Enough to get a real kick out of the broadcast.  Nice work Jordan, this was
a great project for Halloween night.  Looking forward to more in the same
vein going forward.  Thanks!!
