[GreenKeys] Special Halloween Broadcast

[Steve Garrison]

Receiving you 5x5 at the site of the 2019 Stone Mountain HamFest!

 

But your message should end with "NNNN" not "ZZZZ"!   At least according to
the old salty dogs around here!

A test message will be transmitted at the previously defined address
(http://tty.nerdology.org:8000/livetty) approximately every 15 minutes from
now leading up to the broadcast for you to ensure your equipment is tuned
accordingly. This is new to both you and me, and I'm using an unusual
mark/space frequency. If it was't clear, 1313 was chosen due to 13's
association with all things odd and macabre to keep with the tradition of
the holiday-- just a small detail to enhance today's experience purely for
fun, though I fear it may be causing more angst than it is worth.

 

I'm glad to receive any feedback to improve future broadcasts as I am
clearly out of my league when it comes to radio and RTTY. And probably
everything else.

Correction! Mark frequency will be 1313 Hz with a 170 Hz shift (1483 space).
NOT MHz.

 

Having worked in IT for years before I started dabbling in AFSK, I naturally
think in measures of MHz and GHz and absentmindedly used MHz here.

 

Most of you probably already knew what I meant, but I wanted to be clear.
Apologies.

This Halloween, keep the oil in your machines warm by tuning in to a special
news broadcast of astronomically thrilling proportions. It will be an
adapted-for-teletype version of the original radio broadcast of The War of
the Worlds from 1938, 81 years ago today. Tune in at 4:00 PM Mountain Time
on October 31, 2019 (tomorrow).

 

There will be an audio stream in ITTY fashion here
<http://tty.nerdology.org:8000/livetty> . Pipe the RTTY audio to your
TU/demods and print it out on your heavy metal machines, or use a glass
terminal such as fldigi, CocoaModem, or MMTTY. There will also be a live
video of my TT-7/FG (U.S. military Model 19) printing the broadcast here
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw-sWwXLiVA>  for anyone who can't receive
RTTY but wants to see a heavy metal machine in action.

 

The broadcast will be between three and four hours long, but there will be
breaks of radio silence in between many segments. Therefore, for heavy metal
users, it is recommended to use an autostart feature if your equipment
supports it. 

 

Mark frequency will appropriately be 1313.00 Mhz, 170 Mhz shift. 

 

Enjoy!
