Shortwave Radiogram schedules

Hello friends,


Last week's broadcast Monday at 0800-0830 UTC was not transmitted on 7730 kHz. WRMI informs me that the issue has been resolved. This frequency is good to Australia and New Zealand, among other places. At 0800 UTC, WRMI's other frequency, 5850 kHz, was well heard in much of North America, and I even received it using an SDR in Japan. The signal, not surprisingly, was weak. So, hoping that 5850 reaches Japan again this weekend, the show will start with some Japanese text in the Olivia 64-2000 mode.

Among videos of last weekend's broadcast are this one by COMMS partisan, Sunday 2330 UTC, with narration explaining the concept. And an excerpt by radio no koe, using a receiver in Qatar (Saturday 1625 UTC). For the entire half hour, see the videos by Ralf in Gemany (Saturday 1600 UTC) and Scott in Ontario (Sunday 2330 UTC). For audio, visit Mark Hirst's archive.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 51, 8-11 June 2018, in modes as noted:

 1:31  MFSK32: Program preview  
 2:43  Olivia 64-2000: Japanese text
 9:00  MFSK32: More passenger trains in Slovakia*
13:20  MFSK64: Juno mission to Jupiter gets extension*
