Thanks to you and to Paul at rtty.com for the work you guys do to keep these services up and running. They’re my primary method of feeding my Teletypes.

The New York Times changed their web site so my scripts can no longer
fetch articles. I messed with the scripts for a while and finally decided
to look for a simpler source. National Public Radio has a plain text web
site (well, HTML with just text) that made it easy to extract the text. As
I was rewriting the scripts, I discovered XPATH which makes it REAL EASY
to extract stuff out of HTML documents. Amazing stuff!

Anyway, the new feed is at https://w6iwi.org/rtty/audio/npr/ .

The NPR stories tend to be longer than the NYT stories, so the audio file
is currently about 8 hours long. A new one is created every hour, but you
can keep playing the one you started for 10 hours.

Also, I reduced the stop bit to 1 bit time instead of the 1.5 I was
running before. The machines run a bit faster and handle the shorter stop
bit fine (in my testing).

Thanks!
