Hello friends,
Last weekend’s experiment with 8PSK-125F and 8PSK-250F was generally unsuccessful. This is despite improvements to the encoding and decoding of these 8PSK modes in Fldigi 4.0.17. Most listeners’ reports showed errors in the 8PSK text, while the MFSK 32 and 64 text generally decoded 100%, as usual.
Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram are provided by Ralf in Germany (Saturday 1600 UTC) and Scott in Ontario (Sunday 2330 UTC). An audio archive is available from Mark in the UK. And analysis of program 54 was prepared by Roger in Germany (who somehow managed 100% decode of the 8PSK modes).
This weekend we return to our usual pattern of MFSK32, then MFSK64, including ten images.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 55, 6-9 July 2018, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:31 MFSK32: Program preview
2:36 Asteroid belt may be remains of a half-dozen planets*
9:18 MFSK64: Did heavy rain give Mars its deep valleys?*
12:47 Night of Nights maritime radio event on 12 July*
15:22 This week's images*
28:06 MFSK32: Closing announcements
