After the MT63-2000L bonus mode
of program 108, Walt in the UK suggested that we transmit an entire news story
in this mode. That will happen this weekend. This long-interleave version uses
the entire 2000 Hz we have available in one sideband of a shortwave AM channel.
I have measured its speed at nearly 200 words per minute, about twice as fast as
our usual MFSK32 mode.
Here is the lineup for VOA
Radiogram, program 111, 16-17 May 2015,
all in MFSK32 except where indicated:
1:29 Program
preview
2:44 VOA increases
broadcasts to Burundi*
8:09 Forest management to
reduce hunger*
16:02 Shipwreck found
during search for MH370*
23:19 MT63-2000L: Huge
demand for US entrepreneur visas
27:11 MFSK32: Closing
announcements
28:40 Olivia 64-2000: Bonus
mode of the week.
