VOA Radiogram this weekend will include a seven-minute segment of Olivia 64-2000, so let’s hope for poor reception to give this slow-but-robust mode a workout. If reception conditions are good, try a cheap receiver, or a compromised antenna, or a location with electrical noise.
Here is the lineup for VOA
Radiogram, program 159, 16-17 April 2016, all in MFSK32 except where
noted:
1:31 Program
