[GreenKeys] 2021 Halloween Broadcast

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

For those who couldn't tune in but still wish to get the story in full 45 baud glory, recordings are now available here: https://teletype.net/display/TEL/Internet+Teletype+-+ITTY

While I prefer to get the broadcast in its original format for the real effect, gaps of silence and all, for the sake of those who don't want to deal with that, I had a change of heart. You can now get each recording in a condensed format without the test messages and each gap of silence collapsed to only a few seconds.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in this year, and be sure to get your machines in shape for the 2021 Santa Tracker coming Christmas Eve.

>> The time fast approaches for the third annual Halloween spookytime broadcast, this time an original story written for the teletype medium by yours truly, titled simply *Lunatic*.

>> Test messages including Halloween song lyrics and poems will be broadcast every quarter hour beginning at 2:00 PM MDT on October 31. The broadcast of the story itself will begin at 4:00 PM MDT, lasting about two hours. It will be streamed at https://tty.nerdology.org:8000/halloween <https://tty.nerdology.org:8008/halloween2021> (note that accessing the link will result in a 404 error until 10 - 15 minutes before the first test message begins).

>> As in times past, it will be broadcast as if the narrator were sending the messages in realtime with gaps of silence between for the sake of adding a sense of realism to the event. Therefore, leveraging an autostart mechanism if you have one available is recommended.
>> 
>> Mark/space tones will be at the usual frequencies (2125 mark, 2295 space; 170 shift). If you are already set up to use the fantastic ITTY or AUTOSTART channels, the only thing you'd need to change in your configuration is the streaming URL.

>> There will be one pic at the end. No overstrike.

>> Unfortunately, due to a long period of my equipment being mostly inaccessible for testing and the lack of time to work on it in the first place, this broadcast, like previous ones, will also *not* be USOS-friendly (unshift on space). Because of this, those who have machines equipped with USOS are advised to disable the functionality or use a different machine for the best experience, though the story itself shouldn't be impacted if you can't. This inadequacy is at the top of my list to resolve whenever I am able to work on that list again.

>> Be sure to join the stream if you can, and be wary of looking directly at the moon during these dangerous and mysterious times.
