Hello friends,
As we approach autumn in the northern hemisphere, shortwave propagation is changing. The 17860 and 15670 kHz transmissions may become more difficult to hear in Europe. On the other hand, last weekend, Chris in New Zealand received the 15670 kHz transmission with a 100% decode (including the Russian).
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 76, 13-14 September 2014, all MFSK32 except for surprise modes at the end of the show:
.1:35 Program preview
2:33 "Internet slowdown" campaign, with image
10:19 Ozone layer may be recovering, with image
17:26 New VOA Russian TV program, with image
26:09 Closing announcements
Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com

The Olivia 32-2000 is centered on 1500 Hz. Each transmission is about a minute and a half. All frequencies are via Tinian. Send reports for these transmissions to qsl@rfa.org -- include your postal address, because they send paper QSLs.
The Mighty KBC will transmit its usual minute of MFSK64 Saturday at about 1130 UTC on 6095 kHz and Sunday at about 0130 UTC (Saturday 9:30 pm EDT) on 7375 kHz. Both frequencies are via Germany. Reports to themightykbc@gmail.com.
Thanks for your reports to VOA Radiogram last weekend, to which I will respond this weekend.
I hope you can tune in this weekend.
