Hello friends
WRMI has informed me that they have a new customer for Friday 1300-1330 UTC on 15770 kHz. Shortwave Radiogram will be transmitted one last time on Friday, February 9, 1300-1330 during that 1300-1330 time slot. Shortwave Radiogram will then be moved to Wednesday 1330-1400 UTC, also on 15770 kHz, starting February 14. The schedule below shows the transmissions for this weekend and into next week.
I'm glad that Shortwave Radiogram is still on 15770. I seem to be able to hear WRMI on the frequency most of the day, via receivers in most of the world. This great reception is probably helped by the WRMI curtain antenna.
The Shortwave Radiogram definition of "weekend" was already stretched with a Thursday- Monday schedule. With Wednesday now added, I think we can discontinue references to "weekend."
My dilemma now is to decide: when should the Shortwave Radiogram week begin? Because I am used to finishing production on Wednesdays and Thursdays, for the time being, the Shortwave Radiogram week will be Friday through Wednesday, or Thursday through Wednesday after summer daylight time.
World Radio Day 2024 will be on February 13. Shortwave Radiogram will mark the occasion by transmitting a World Radio Day visual as the first MFSK64 image.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 340) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 341, 9-14 February 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:43 MFSK32: Program preview
2:51 MFSK32: Sugar cane waste converted to concrete substitute*
