Hello friends,
When we last transmitted Chinese characters on VOA Radiogram,
we noted that they printed out more slowly than English letters. This is no
doubt due to the greater complexity of the code involved with non-Latin
alphabets. This weekend we will transmit Chinese characters in MFSK32, then try
to speed it up with MFSk64. Make sure you have Fldigi set to the UTF-8 character
set.
We will also continue our experiments with the new
long-interleave modes MFSK64L and MFSK128L.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, 16-17 November 2013
(produced using Fldigi 3.21.77 and Flmsg 1.1.33, both available from
w1hkj.com):
