Hello friends,
VOA Radiogram this weekend will
include the Olivia 16-1000 mode with a center frequency of 2000 Hz. If you
happen to experience co-channel interference consisting of voice and/or music,
the robustness of the Olivia 16-1000 mode in combination with the higher audio
frequency might allow a successful decode. At 40 words per minute, Olivia
16-1000 is faster than Olivia 64-2000.
Here is the lineup for VOA
Radiogram, program 169, 25-26 June 2016, all in MFSK32 except where
noted:
1:35 Program preview

Download apps
via shortwave? A recent
transmission of a mobile app from shortwave station KTWR in Guam, to a DRM
receiver in Thailand, has caused much discussion. See coverage at drmna.info
and The
SWLing Post. While DRM offers more bandwidth and faster download speeds than
the VOA Radiogram method of digital modes via analog radio, VOA Radiogram data
can be received on any radio.
Thank you for
your reports from last weekend. Reception conditions were generally good, so the
Olivia 64-2000 did not get much of a workout. Decodes were good even in Perth, Western
Australia.
A reminder that
Fldigi saves decoded MFSK images as .png files in the folder
\fldigi.files\images\. If convenient, please attach those .png files to your
reception reports.
I hope you can
tune in and write in this weekend.
