Shortwave Radiogram schedules, January 4-6

Hello friends,
Somewhat related to Shortwave Radiogram: Most weekends I check in, as KD9XB, to the New York NBEMS Net Saturdays at 8:00 am local (now 1300 UTC) on 3584 kHz USB and Pennsylvania NBEMS Sundays at 8:00 am local (now 1300 UTC) on 3583 kHz USB. For each, check-ins are in Thor 22 and messages are in MFSK32 using the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern USA or Canada, feel free to check in. Elsewhere, use an SDR (such as via https://sdr.hu) in the northeastern USA to listen in and decode. Send me an email -- radiogram@verizon.net -- during the net, and I'll let them know that you are tuned in and decoding.

Thanks for many good reports to Shortwave Radiogram last weekend to close out 2018. Some submitted images are below. Other results can be seen at our Twitter account @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram .
