> What I have assumed is that this is a fairly modern transmission, which would mean 8 databits (last or first bit being parity) and 1 stopbit.  Stripping the stopbit and just parsing the databits (including the parity bit) into ASCII gives me the semblance of the start of a pattern:

The problem with this is the parity doesn't work out.  Even if you look
at the first bit of 8:

   1111 0011  0  0110 1110  0
   ^             ^ but this should be a 1
   this one is correct

Or we can look at the last bit:

   1111 0011  0  0110 1110  0
                 ^       ^ but this should be a 1 still
                 this one is correct again

Right?  And if we just look at the bits themselves:

   1111 0011 0011 0111
   ^         ^ but this should be a 1
   this one is correct

It still doesn't work.  Where's the parity bit?!

> ónc*c²“W6”d

And yet, this is very interesting.. I don't get it, though.
