Shortwave Radiogram, Program 351

 

Hello friends,

Here in Virginia, spring is moving quickly. The crocuses, daffodils, tulips, cherry blossoms, and red buds have come and gone. We are now in the azalea phase. 

Our spring has mostly been cool, and even cold at times. That's OK with me. As I say every spring: It will be hot enough, soon enough.

Spring (autumn in the southern hemisphere) shortwave propagation has been good, with mostly good results reported from Shortwave Radiogram listeners last week. This is a good time of the year to tune in and decode.

And if there is enough time, there might be a surprise mode under the closing music. Last week it was Olivia 16-2000. This week it will be another mode. 

A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 350) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 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 351, 25 April-1 May 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:
