Hello friends,
I have received requests to try some of the “new and exotic” modes on Shortwave Radiogram. Accordingly, this weekend, we will transmit one news item in Thor 22. Thor 22 is not an especially new mode, but its ability to send and receive images is new. You will need a newer version of Fldigi -- I used 3.23.30.
The Thor 22 RSID will be transmitted. After that, there will be
five seconds of silence, in case you need to set the mode manually. When the
image is transmitted, a window will open. When the transmission of the image is
completed, click the Save button. That will place the decoded Thor 22 image in
the same folder where your MFSK32 images are deposited -- \fldigi.files\images\
Using TIVAR on an Android device, the Thor 22 text will decode if
Thor 22 is added to the mode list. Unfortunately, TIVAR cannot, in its present
version, decode Thor 22 images.
By the way, I sometimes see THOR (all capital letters) and
sometimes Thor (only the first letter capitalized). I don’t know which is
correct. If THOR is an acronym, it should be all caps.
Most of this weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram will be in the usual
MFSK32 mode.
Here is the
lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 16, 7-8 October 2017, all in
MFSK32 except where noted:
1:38 Program preview
2:45 Nobel prize in chemistry*
8:56 BBC expands its services to India*

anniversary of Sputnik*

Good luck to Shortwave Radiogram listeners in the path of
Hurricane/Tropical Storm Nate during the next few days. Here is Virginia, we
are expecting no damage, but some badly-needed rain. Kim
