Could anyone out there how to pickup the stock report from the airways. I was once told that it was on a satelite but was hoping that it was also on a terrestiral type system. Perry convex!ctvax!pedz pedz@ct (csnet)

Some local FM radio stations broadcast stuff like stocks and commodities on subcarriers. Get a CHEAP fm radio, and feed the audio output to a PLL for FM subcarrier, or to the antenna of long Wave receiver for AM. Some of them, like paging services, may use non-standard baud rates that are related to multiples of the pilot (19000khz) for simplicity. Even some TV stations are starting to put info on the audio subcarriers. Since the FCC allowed stereo TV, they opened up a lot of extra space for the TV broadcasters. This is NOT the same as the VIR stuff they hide, like channel 9 from Atlanta. BTW, anyone know how the lawsuit over who owned the VIR time between the Atlanta station and the satelite people came out? mikey at trsvax KA5MJQ
