A few pairs of letters are repeated several times, but I'm not seeing any obvious way to turn the pairs into "bytes" (as in eight binary bits)

@Kevin The way answers work here is that you provide both the answer and your reasoning, and then the author tells you whether you're correct or not (though it's worth noting that in this case, he hasn't logged in since August). You also need to put a spoiler tag>!
before your answer to hide it, so anyone else who wants to have a go at the puzzle can do so.
