Hello
friends,
Last weekend, I had problems
with our Outlook contact lists, resulting in some of you receiving two emails,
and some VOA Radiogram listeners receiving no email. I’ve reconstructed the
mailing lists. If you have previously unsubscribed and are receiving this email
again, let me know, and I will delete you again.
DigiDX is taking a few weeks
off. VOA Radiogram will be heard during the DigiDX broadcast times on WRMI
Florida and IBC Italy. See the expanded schedule
below.
The expanded schedule is a good
way to celebrate the 200th program of VOA Radiogram this
weekend.
Here is the lineup for VOA
Radiogram, program 200, 28-29 January
2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted:

I am planning to attend the Winter SWL Fest, March 2-4, 2017, at Plymouth

Thanks for your reports
from last weekend. I am still compiling the gallery from program 198 (14-15
January). I hope to have it finished this weekend and send it to everyone who
provided reports.
I hope you can tune in

(especially active just before, during, and after
broadcasts)
- For best Olivia 64-2000 performance, turn Fldigi's
squelch (SQL) off.
- The RSID at 1500 Hz sometimes mixes with the transmitter
hum, most noticeable at 360 Hz, to move your receive audio frequency down to
1140 Hz, resulting in no decode. To prevent this, in Fldigi: Configure > IDs
> RsID > unselect Searches passband. Your center audio frequency
will wander no more than +/- 200 Hz.
- Fldigi automatically saves your decoded MFSK images as
png files in the folder \fldigi.files\images\ (in Windows; folder names might be
different with other operating systems). You can attach those png files with
your reception report.
- The VOA Radiogram Twitter account @VOARadiogram is
especially active before, during, and after the broadcasts. You don't need a
Twitter account: just go to https://twitter.com/voaradiogram and
refresh it occasionally.
