The first Shortwave Radiogram has
been uploaded to WRMI. Instead of the .wav file that I sent to the VOA North
Carolina transmitter site, the file for WRMI is .mp3, 128 kbps. This should be
more than adequate for good decoding, but if you experience problems that might
be related to the audio format, please let me know.
Another challenge with the first
Shortwave Radiogram is sending this email to the approximately one thousand
listeners on the VOA Radiogram email list. The VOA Outlook-based email system
had a limit of 400 emails, so I sent them in groups of 400, 400, remainder. The
radiogram@verizon.net is actually administered by AOL Mail, so
we will learn how many recipients they tolerate. If this email comes to you from
an address other than radiogram@verizon.net, please
continue to use radiogram@verizon.net for emails to Shortwave
Radiogram.
To keep things simple, the first VOA
Radiogram will all be in MFSK32. It will include six images.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave
Radiogram, program 1, 25 June 2017, all in MFSK32
centered on 1500 Hz:
