★ Hi

I'm Morag from Norwich. Day job: boring. Night job: waiting for 02:14 UTC. Blame the nova-l mailing list.

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

Things that are probably NOT clues: track lengths, catalogue numbers, the colour of the sleeve. Things that might be: everything else.

★ 14.2 Hz Signal Analysis & DSP

If you want to try this at home: sample at 8 kHz, low-pass hard, decimate. The carrier's there. The hard part is believing it.
