Hello all!
This looks like it could be a neat one!

I can tell you that that sound file on LAINSY's page sounds like a Slow-Scan TeleVision (SSTV) signal (much like the ones used in the beginning of Valve's Portal ARG). However, it has static in the background, and I don't know if that would be a problem when decoding, as I have never used SSTV software.

Also, am I the only one who immediately thought of GLaDOS after figuring out that LAINSY is an A.I. with issues? GLaDOS, Henry/K-1, HAL... People need to learn that putting an A.I. in charge of something is a BAD idea! Razz

Greetings and thanks duke! Has anybody been able to clean up that signal and come up with anything? +1 on the A.I.'s with issues thing.

I personally have no clue how to use SSTV stuff... Sad

Anyway, anyone else notice the E-mail address listed on the FB page?
It's servicesSPLATfailtechnologies.com
EDIT: there's also their "investment department" at: investSPLATfailtechnologies.com

We might try sending it... something. Any idea what?

I think I know how to process the signal. I need some cable... I think I should have a progress report in about five minutes for you guys.

Binary? Did you get an image of binary out of the signal? Or is it something else?

Yikes. That binary does look hard to read.

Also another tweet:

has anyone tried to SSTV the first signal with the morse code? Aren't this one with the binary and the one on error=200 sound the same? or are they different?
