Following preview for this weekend (26-29 September) and the following weekend (3-6 October 2019).
Before that, however: Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 118) are provided by Scott in Ontario and (Sunday 0800 UTC on 5850 kHz) and W5IJH in Oklahoma (Sunday 2330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 119, 26-29 September 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:37 MFSK32: Program preview
2:41 Festival of Frequency Measurement honors WWV centennial*
6:48 MFSK64: MIT engineers produce blackest material*
11:47 This week's images*
27:09 MFSK32: Closing announcements*
* with image(s)
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 120, 3-6 October 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:
The introduction will be in MFSK32. Then there will be a change to MFSK64 for ten images of birds from various parts of the world.
The images will be somewhat larger than those we usually transmit on Shortwave Radiogram. Because of this, slant in the images may be more noticeable.
If a triangle forms along the left side of the image, try an Rx PPM correction of (+)100, and adjust from there. If the triangle form from the right side, try an Rx PPM correction of -100 and adjust from there.
In Fldigi: Configure > Sound Card > Settings: Set Rx PPM ...
Closing announcements will be in MFSK32.

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 (PA NBEMS is experimenting with Thor 50x1 for messages). 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 at 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB. I will try to check in to this net more frequently.jjjj
Thanks for your reception reports!
