Shortwave Radiogram, program 357

 

Hello friends

If you tune in to the WINB transmissions this weekend, the program preview is missing asterisks denoting images after each of the two news stories. Those are in addition to the seven images at the end of the show, for a total of nine MFSK images this week. The preview below is corrected.

On The Mighty KBC, Peter John's DX Headlines is usually during the half hour following Al Holt's MFSK64 minute (Birthday Radiogram). Peter often includes SSTV and a variety of Fldigi modes in his feature. Last week he had PSKR125C10 (1100 wpm) centered on 2250 Hz, with simultaneous MFSK64 (240 wpm)  centered on 560 Hz. Philippe F1GMA provided an excellent demonstration of the PSKR125C10 from WRMI decoding via an SDR in Ontario. This mode is probably too fast for most shortwave paths, but WRMI's 15770 kHz is usually good enough to eastern North America that these amazing text speeds can be accomplished.      

A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 356) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
