How the 14 ASCII characters per node are encoded into the record groove.

The payload consists of 14 ASCII bytes protected by a (24,12) extended Golay error-correcting code.
The symbol duration is exactly 1.408 seconds, corresponding to a symbol rate of 0.7107 baud (14.2 Hz / 20).

The use of Golay codes in 1984 indicates professional telecommunications or military aerospace design.

Every song on SYNTHESIS was engineered to be exactly long enough to transmit one complete telemetry frame.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
