Hello friends,
Many shortwave broadcasting stations will change frequencies this
weekend, but the frequencies and UTC times of the four Shortwave
Radiogram transmissions remain the same, and least for the time being. See the
schedule below.
Thank you to everyone who participated in last weekend’s test of
the ISO-8859-5 character set. If you have not done so, you might want to change
your Fldigi character set back to UTF-8, as that the character set we will be
using most often.
For the most part, we were able to speed up the transmission of
Russian text. For some listeners, the Cyrillic characters did not display, even
after changing to ISO-8859-5. This might be due to the lack of a necessary font
in the operating system.
From analysis by Roger in Germany, we learn that the use of
ISO-8859-5 “in Internet and in other practice is very limited.” So in our
future experiments with Russian and other Cyrillic alphabets, we might try the
CP1251 or KOI8 character sets instead.
This weekend on Shortwave Radiogram, all content will be in
MFSK32, with six images, and no unusual character sets.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 19, 28-29
