[child was located not too long after this message was received; about 1:05am CDT.]
Child Abduction Emergency/Amber Alert message for the state of South Dakota, aired around 12:30 am on June 11, 2022, but received and recorded at around 1:15 am CDT, ten minutes after the alert was set to expire.
As per usual, the video feed utilizes a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS receiving audio from a local radio station and recorded onto a blank VHS tape. Although this time around, I have decided to skip the quick 1sec introduction.

![The National Periodic Test of 2021 - August 11, 2021 (TV/Video Captures)
Various recordings of the National Periodic Test as it happened on August 11, 2021. Most of the footage here were gathered from local Iowa television stations besides for the very end. (and the DIRECTV bit at the beginning)
Chapters (w/ descriptions):
00:00 DIRECTV
[relayed the test near perfectly, with some audible but minor feedback.]
01:20 KTIV-DT1 (NBC) + KTIV-DT2 (CW)
[audio completely silent other than a few audible tones.]
02:45 KTIV-DT5 (Ion)
[normal programming played while a ticker went across the top of the screen. (before this test happened, a required weekly test aired with no audible tones.)]
03:12 KCAU (ABC)
[similar to the 2018 NPT, there wasnt an audio message or any audible EOM tones. (but hey, at least they actually relayed an alert for once!)]
04:30 KXNE (PBS)
[relayed the test perfectly, other than bleed through from regular programming (which is typically common for this station.)]
05:34 KPTH-DT3 (CBS)
[same result as KTIV.]
06:56 KKMA-FM (EASyPLUS relay)

![MHz Sub-Alert Mode 1 on Keywest Technology/Video Data Systems 840
[originally uploaded unlisted on February 11, 2022]
Demonstration of the MHz Sub-Alert Mode 1 configuration on a Keywest Technology (initially Video Data Systems) 840 character generator. This was created by setting MHz Sub-Alert Mode on my Sage ENDEC to 1 and sending a Required Weekly Test.
This was originally recorded to answer any potential can you recreate VDS green screen on the keywest? comments I might receive, given the last video uploaded when I recorded this was a video showing this machine off: https://youtu.be/YdANjPVm7B0
There is no way to my knowledge to remove the 99;99; in the upper left, as far as I know thats just something this CG does. Presumably, the base 840 units werent designed to be used in an Emergency Alert System setup. (there were specific models aimed towards usage in EAS configurations, specifically the 840-EAS.)
2025 EDIT: Assuming there werent that many differences besides the font changes between this and the original Video Data Systems 840 (see the other video I uploaded about this for details), I wonder if its possible to replicate this screen on it, however I have yet to come across a functional unit secondhand, if at all. (aside from a VDS 840 EAS, however it has not been tested I do not have one in my possession currently.)
