Shortwave Radiogram schedules. April 3-5

Hello friends,

Last weekend's experiment with Olivia 16-1000 produced results that were definitely indefinitive. In the few cases where I could find a signal bad enough to give the mode a real test, the Olivia 16-1000 did not seem any better than the MFSK32, and not much better than the MFSK64. It reminds us why we like the MFSK modes on Shortwave Radiogram. However, there was one example of improbable reception in South Australia of the Sunday 2330-2400 UTC broadcast on 7780 kHz. Despite a nearly inaudible signal, the Olivia 16-1000 decoded well.

Shortwave Radiogram listeners have produced videos of last weekend's reception (program 145), which include examples of Olivia 16-1000 versus the MFSK modes: youngalientype in Ohio (I think) (Friday 1300 UTC Olivia 16-1000 excerpt, Ralf in Germany, Lolo sdr in Spain, and Scott in Ontario (all Saturday 1330 UTC), and, amazingly for this far into spring, reception in Europe, Sunday at 0800 UTC on 7730 kHz, captured by i0kte stafano in Italy (excerpt) and Lolo sdr in Spain. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

With most of us required to stay at home, this weekend we will try more experiments with modes designed for especially bad reception. So let's hope for at least some bad reception. We will try two approaches: 1) Olivia 64-2000, which spreads the data 2000 Hz wide, using most of the bandwidth we have in a shortwave broadcast channel. 2) MFSK16, which concentrates all the data in a narrow column of data 316 Hz wide. This will be in addition to our usual MFSK32 and MFSK64, with six MFSK64 images this weekend. 

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 146, 2-5 April 2020, in modes as noted:

 1:50  MFSK32: Program preview
 3:07  Olivia 64-2000**: Seismic impact of stay-at-home
 7:41  MFSK16: Seismic impact continued
10:24  MFSK64: Harvesting energy from Wi-Fi
16:14  This week's images*
27:48  MFSK32: Closing announcements

* with images

** Turn off Fldigi squelch (SQL) and choose receiver bandwidth
that will accept the data at 500 to 2500 Hz above and/or below
the carrier frequency (i.e. not too narrow)

New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1200 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1130 UTC). Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32. Messages generally use the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America, feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram , and I will let them know you are tuned in. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Wednesdays 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB.

Shortwave Radiogram, weekend schedule

Hello friends,

In this time of transition from winter to summer (or vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere), reception of Shortwave Radiograms good at some times on some frequencies, and marginal at other times and on other frequencies.  Because many of us are quarantined, this might be a good time to experiment with some modes we don't usually transmit, to see if they can produce a successful text decode in difficult conditions. And, therefore, our first news item will be in the Olivia 16-1000 mode (40 word per minute). The question for us to ponder is whether this slow mode provides better performance than our usual MFSK32 (120 wpm) in challenging reception environments.

Sunday of this weekend brings a change to Summer Time in most of Europe. Note that local times for Shortwave Radiogram may change accordingly. Also on Sunday will be start of the A20 shortwave broadcast frequency season. I am not aware of any changes to Shortwave Radiogram frequencies, except for the Friday 1500-1530 UTC DRM broadcast from WINB Pennsylvania, which will change to 15750 kHz starting 3 April.

Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 144) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC), Scott Haley in Oklahoma (Saturday 0230 UTC), 2010DFS in Japan and Lola sdr in Spain (both Sunday 0800 UTC on 7730 kHz). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

This weekend's show is in MFSK32, Olivia 16-1000 and MFSK64, with nine MFSK images.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 144, 26-29 March 2020, in modes as noted:

 1:48  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:59  Olivia 16-1000: Hams to help develop low cost ventilator
 9:42  MFSK64: Ford helps produce respiratory equipment*
14:29  This week's images*
28:00  MFSK32: Closing announcements
