[GreenKeys] Another AFSK News Stream - Ras Pi

Sun Aug 10 01:06:13 EDT 2025

THANKS! I just added another stream. It's CNN. It was a bit of a challenge
because they have all sorts of strange UTF-8 sequences. They seem to
display properly in a browser, but did not translate properly using

    $text=iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT", $text);

So, I had to do this prior to calling iconv:

    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x94","--",$text);	// emdash
    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x98","'",$text);	// apostrophe
    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x99","'",$text);  // Strange
CNN sequence for apostrophe
    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x9c",'"',$text);  // open quote
    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x9d",'"',$text);  // close  quote
    $text=str_replace("\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x93","--",$text);	// emdash

Anyway, it SEEMS to be working now. So the news streams I now have are:

https://w6iwi.org/rtty/audio/npr

https://w6iwi.org/rtty/audio/csm

https://w6iwi.org/rtty/audio/cnn

W2JC, I could add an ad for people to order more paper from you at the
beginning of the feed...

Thanks!
