VOA Radiogram weekend schedule

Hello friends,

Last weekend’s World Radio Day edition of VOA Radiogram was successful, based on the number of emails I received, and the response on Twitter. Even if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can see many of the decoded images at twitter.com/voaradiogram . If you are on Twitter, follow @voaradiogram for program reminders and retweets from listeners.

This weekend, we resume Olivia 64-2000 as our robust mode of the week. Most of the show will be in the usual MFSK32.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 151, 20-21 February 2016, all in MFSK32 except where noted:  

1:35  Program preview
 2:40  Remnants of atmosphere on exoplanet*
7:50  Olivia 64-2000: System stores renewable energy (image in MFSK32*)
15:42  Preparing for winter at the South Pole*
26:45  Closing announcements*
