Hello
friends,
Among recent additions to the
voaradiogram.net website is a link to an excellent presentation by Mark, 2E0ECN,
in the UK, about VOA Radiogram. He prepared it for his local amateur radio club
…
Klaus in Germany provided this
picture, showing that the equipment required to receive and decode VOA Radiogram
does not require much space …
Tim, K0RUS, in Colorado
produces YouTube videos of his reception and decoding of VOA Radiogram. They are
a good demonstration of how VOA Radiogram works …
Your reception reports from
last weekend indicate that trans-Atlantic shortwave propagation is improving,
especially on 15670 kHz. Some of you report only two errors in the text. Those
may actually have been two typos of mine in the program preview, rather than
faulty decoding.
On VOA Radiogram this weekend,
the MFSK32 RSID will be transmitted only once, just after the voice
introduction, and that will be followed by a 30-second tuning
signal.
Here is the lineup for VOA
Radiogram, program 98, 14-15 February
2015, all in MFSK except where indicated:
1:59 Program

Please send reception reports

this email.)
