http://tty.nerdology.org:8000/halloween

The stream is now live. Test messages begin at 2:00 PM MDT with the main broadcast at 4:00 PM MDT.

Happy Halloween!

>> 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.
