VOA Radiogram weekend programming

Hello friends,

We start with three announcements ...

1) A reminder of our new frequencies starting this weekend: Saturday 0930-1000 UTC on 5910 kHz. And Saturday 1600-1630 UTC on 17580 kHz. The complete schedule is below.

2) It's beginning to be that time of the year when the Saturday 0930-1000 UTC broadcast on 5910 kHz may be audible in Europe. I've already had a report from Italy for the old 5745 kHz frequency during that broadcast. Reception will improve as we approach the winter solstice.

3) If you have an Android device, the new receive-only, decode-only version of the AndFlmsg app, called TIVAR (Text and Images Via Analog Radio), is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/AndFlmsg/TIVAR/

AndFlmsg and Fldigi are available here:

VOA Radiogram

Hello friends,
Please note new frequencies for VOA Radiogram effective 31 October 2015. They are listed in the schedule below.

Last weekend’s VOA Radiogram was received and decoded in Australia and New Zealand, including Perth, 18000 km from the North Carolina transmitter.
See details: http://voaradiogram.net/post/131282518872/voa-radiogram-antipodally-received-and-decoded

The Olivia 32-2000 segment usually (but not always) showed improvement over the MFSK32 text in difficult reception conditions. For most of you, reception is good enough that the MFSK32 text decodes 100%, and the Olivia 32-2000 is therefore not needed.

VOA Radiogram this weekend will be all MFSK32 except for the transmission schedule on Olivia 64-2000, mixed with the closing music.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 133, 17018 October 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:

0136  Program preview

0248  Climate change and early springs*

0741  Toyota to eliminate most gasoline cars by 2050*

1342  New maps of Jupiter reveal interesting features*

2037  Video game use and school performance*

2659  Closing announcements*

28:00  Olivia 64-2000: Transmission schedule

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com.

VOA Radiogram transmission schedule
Changing to 5910 kHz effective 31 October)
Sat 1600-1630 17870 kHz (changing to 17580 kHz effective 31 October)
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz
All via the Edward R. Murrow transmitting station in North Carolina.

The Mighty KBC will transmit a minute of MFSK32 Sunday at this new time: 0130 UTC (Saturday 9:30 pm EDT) on the new frequency of 7395 kHz, via Germany. This weekend, the KBC broadcast to North America shifts to 2300-0200 UTC on the new 7395 kHz frequency. Eric would appreciate reports for this new frequency: themightykbc@gmail.com .

Thank you for the many reports received for last week’s VOA Radiogram. I am now compiling the gallery for program 126 and will be sending those out over the weekend. I provide a link the gallery at Dropbox rather than attaching the pdf galley because it saves me several keystrokes, and it prevent a large attachment in your email inbox. You do not need to be registered with Dropbox to download the gallery. If you are invited to register, just close the box and proceed with the download.

I hope you can tune in and write in this weekend.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 - 11 October 2015

Solar activity was at very low levels throughout much of the period (05-10 Oct) with only B-class flare activity observed. Solar activity increased to low levels on 11 Oct due to a long-duration C3 flare at 11/2229 UTC from an unnumbered region behind the southeastern limb. The seven numbered active regions on the visible disk throughout the week were generally stable, simple, and unproductive. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections were observed this period. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached very high levels on 09, 11 Oct with high levels observed on 05-06, 08, and 10 Oct, all due to an enhanced solar wind environment and increased geomagnetic activity caused by a coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Moderate flux levels were observed on 07 Oct. 

Geomagnetic field activity was quiet to G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 05 Oct and quiet to active levels on 06 Oct due to brief periods of southward Bz in addition to isolated periods of substorming. The influence of a recurrent positive polarity CH HSS caused active to G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm levels on 07 Oct, active to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm levels on 08 Oct, and unsettled to active conditions on 09 Oct. Quiet to active field conditions were observed on 10-11 Oct due to waning CH HSS effects, an enhanced solar wind environment, and localized substorming. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 12 October - 07 November 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels throughout the period with a chance for M-class flares (R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) Radio Blackouts) for 16-29 Oct due to the return of Region 2422 (S20, L=102) which produced a total of 18 M-class flares last rotation. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be high levels on 12-15, 18-24 Oct, and 01-02, 04-07 Nov. Moderate flux levels are expected on 16-17, 25, and 27-28 Oct with normal levels expected on 26, 29-31 Oct, and 03 Nov. 

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 12, 15-16 Oct, and 03 Nov due to the influence of multiple recurrent coronal hole high speed streams (CH HSS). Active levels are anticipated on 13-14, 17, 29 Oct, and 04-05 Nov. Quiet to unsettled field activity is expected for the remainder of the period.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 28 September - 04 October 2015

Solar activity reached high levels as the period was dominated by M-class flare activity from active regions located in the southwest quadrant. In total 20 M-class flares were observed with two reaching the R2 (Moderate) radio blackout threshold. Four R1 (Minor) radio blackouts were observed from Region 2423 (S09, L=154, class/area=Dac/180 on 28 Sep) early in the period as the region transited the southwest limb, but once out of view Region 2422 (S18,  L=102, class/area=Fkc/950 on 29 Sep) became the source of the remainder of M-class flare activity. Region 2422 was relatively benign until it reached central meridian and began a rapid growth phase where it increased significantly in magnetic complexity. Region 2422 produced a total of 14 R1 (Minor) radio blackouts and two R2 (Moderate) radio blackouts, the largest of which was an M7 flare observed at 28/1458 UTC. Numerous coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with the activity eminating from the southwest quadrant were observed throughout the period, but none were Earth-directed. 

 The greater than 10 MeV proton flux became slightly enhanced late on 30 Sep through midday on 01 Oct due to a pair of M1/1n flares from Region 2422 observed midday on 30 Sep. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux briefly reached a peak of 1.4 pfu at 01/0000 UTC but began a slow return to background levels shortly thereafter. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels on 28 Sep-01 Oct and was at normal levels on 02-04 Oct. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels on 28 and 30 Sep and quiet to unsettled levels on 29 Sep under a nominal solar wind regime. Quiet to active levels were observed on 01-03 Oct due to a combination of weak positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream influence, a period of prolonged southward Bz, and substorming. On 04 Oct active conditions were observed early and late in the period with an isolated period of G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms were observed between 0600-0900 UTC. The geomagnetic field activity on 04 Oct was attributed to periods of southward Bz and localized
substorms. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 October - 31 October 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels throughout the period with likely C-class flare activity and a chance for M-class (R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate)) flare activity on 06-29 Oct due to the return of multiple active regions which produced event level activity last rotation. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 08-15 Oct with moderate levels expected on 05-07 and 16-24 Oct. Normal levels are expected for the
remainder of the period. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 09 Oct with active levels expected on 05, 08, 10, 17, 20, 29, and 31 Oct due to recurrent coronal hole high speed stream effects. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected throughout the remainder of the period.

VOA Radiogram Weekend Schedule

Hello friends,

We begin with good news and bad news.

The good news is that last week's special broadcast to the Notte Europea dei Ricercatori (European Researchers' Night) in Frascati, Italy, was heard and decoded well in Frascati and many other places. I was worried about that 17880 kHz frequency at 1830 UTC, but it propagated nicely over the north Atlantic. See images as decoded in Frascati and photos from the event.

The bad news is that no one responded to the BBG's request for proposals for the development of a digital mode decoder app.  The deadline was very tight (it was an end-of-fiscal-year gambit) and the specifications were rather complicated, so the lack of a response is not a complete surprise.

I hope the developer community can fill the need for a decode-only app, for PCs and for mobile devices. Please encourage shortwave broadcasters to try MFSK32 text and images, even if only for a few minutes a week. This will encourage developers to produce MKSK32 decoders. Perhaps even receiver manufacturers will take an interest.

Meanwhile, this weekend, let's hope that Hurricane Joaquin and a forecast nor'easter do not disrupt broadcasts from the North Carolina transmitter site.

VOA Radiogram will be all MFSK32 text and images, except for some Olivia 64-2000 mixed with the closing music.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 131:

 1:33  Program preview
 2:43  Map of US Internet backbone*
 8:26  China Internet digital ID card*
14:07  Washington's Chinatown*
21:38  Radio Sweden relaunches, with less radio*
27:00  Closing announcements*
28:23  Olivia 64-2000: Transmission schedule

* with image

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com.

VOA Radiogram transmission schedule
(all days and times UTC):
Sat 0930-1000 5745 kHz
Sat 1600-1630 17870 kHz
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz
All via the Edward R. Murrow transmitting station in North Carolina.

The Mighty KBC will transmit a minute of MFSK32 Sunday at 0230 UTC (Saturday 10:30 pm EDT) on 7375 kHz, via Germany. Reports for this KBC reception to Eric: themightykbc@gmail.com .

Thanks for your reception reports last weekend. I'm now preparing the gallery of MFSK images from program 124 and will be sending out email responses during the next few days. 

I hope you can tune in and write in this weekend.
