Hello friends,
In last weekend’s experiment
comparing Scottie DX SSTV and MFSK32 images, the MFSK32 images generally were
clearer, but the Scottie DX images usually had less slant, probably because of
the slant-correction capabilities of the decoding software. I will, eventually,
compile a gallery showing several comparisons.
There will be no SSTV in this
weekend’s program, but if you are interested in more SSTV tests, let me know,
and we can include them in future shows.
This weekend’s program will
include one item in Olivia 32-2000. This will be interesting if you experience
poor reception conditions because of propagation, local noise, or a
less-than-top-quality radio. In Fldigi, Olivia 32-2000 requires a custom mode
selection: Op Mode > Olivia > Custom: Tones: 32, Bandwidth: 2000. I
provide 20 seconds for you to make this change. However, Olivia 32-2000
does have an RSID, so it will probably do all the work for
you.
Here is the lineup for VOA
