VOA Radiogram Weekend Schedule

VOA Radiogram for the weekend of 18-19 January 2014 will include the MFSK32, MFSK64, and MFSK64L (long interleave version of MFSK64) modes.

Please note that MFSK64L text does not begin to display until a few seconds after the tones are heard.

The Flmsg 1.1.33AC alpha version works with the MFSK64L mode. Our experiment this weekend will try this combination, so please download Flmsg 1.1.33AC from http://www.w1hkj.com/alpha/flmsg/ .  Also, in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS  -- Under Reception of flmsg files, check both boxes, and under that indicate where your Flmsg.exe 1.1.33AC file is located.

One difference this weekend is that the program preview will be in MFSK32 (120 wpm) rather than MFSK16 (55 wpm). We will try MFSK32 for the preview during the next few weekends. MFSK16 is useful in very poor shortwave conditions, so we might want to bring this mode back in the future.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram 42, 18-19 Jan 2014:

1:42 MFSK32: Program preview
