[GreenKeys] Special Halloween Broadcast

[Duncan Brown]

Jordan,

Thanks for setting up this Halloween broadcast, but I'm afraid very few 
people will be able to copy it due to your unique tone frequencies.

Many (if not most) AFSK converters utilize fixed frequency filters for 
demodulation. Even software programs, such as MMTTY, will not copy your 
1313/1483 Hz AFSK tones.

Next time, it would be best to stick to the "standard" 170 Hz shift 
tones of 2125/2295 Hz.

Have fun,

Duncan
