Shortwave Radiogram, Program 316

 


Hello friends

Listeners have noticed that our transmission Tuesday at 1430-1500 UTC on 9955 kHz from WRMI Florida -- usually difficult to receive during the summer -- has been replaced by other content. Today I received confirmation from WRMI that the French service of RAE Argentina al Mundo has taken over the time slot Monday through Friday. However, WRMI says that Shortwave Radiogram will get 9955 kHz Sundays at 1430-1500 UTC, eventually.

Also today, Your Host (YH) informed us that This Is A Music Show (TIAMS) will discontinue its run on WRMI. TIAMS was a pioneer in the use of MFSK text and images on an analog shortwave carrier. Listeners are expressing sadness that the show will end.
 

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 315) is provided by Scott in Ontario. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. An archive of received images is maintained by John in California. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 316, 3-7 August 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:40  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:46  MFSK32: Bacteria recruited to recycle plastic
