Shortwave Radiogram, Program 375

 
Hello friends,

WRMI is still making repairs after Hurricane Milton, but the WRMI frequencies used for Shortwave Radiogram have been restored.  During the past week, 7570 kHz was off the air Saturday at 2300 UTC. And 5850 kHz was temporarily replaced by 7730 kHz. These frequencies are now back to normal.

Because of the minimal disruption last week, I have produced a new show (375) for this week. However, program 375 will be repeated next week (October 24-30) due to family activities.

The last Sunday of October will be the beginning of the B24 HF (shortwave) frequency season. Some shortwave broadcast stations will make seasonal frequency changes. I am not aware of any planned changes of frequencies used for Shortwave Radiogram on WRMI and WINB, but be alert for any unexpected changes.

Most of Europe will turn clocks forward one hour on that same last Sunday of October. Most of North America will do the same one week later, November 2. The schedule for Shortwave Radiogram via WRMI will stay with UTC, except for 9955 kHz, which stays with US Eastern time. WINB's 9265 kHz will stay with US Eastern time. I will provide an updated schedule at the end of October.

A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 374) 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.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 375, 17-24 October 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:
