Thanks to everyone who participated in last weekend’s test of
8PSK-125F in AM versus SSB modes. For the most part, reception in SSB was
better than AM. But even in SSB, there were more decoding errors than we
usually experience in MFSK64 and 32. I think we have given 8PSK every
opportunity. I am always open to suggestions for experiments with other modes
and techniques.
This weekend we will press our luck with a news item in MFSK128
(480 wpm), including an MFSK128 image. Most of the show will be in our usual
MFSK 64 and 32 modes. There will be a total of eight MFSK images.
Here is the
lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 59, 3-6 August 2018, in MFSK
modes as noted:
1:34 MFSK32: Program preview
2:47 NASA marks its 60th year*
7:45 MFSK128: Used cars exported to Africa*
11:46 MFSK64: Milky Way
sibling devoured by Andromeda*
16:32 Passing of Oldrich
Cip, shortwave frequency planner*
19:46 Images of the week*
28:29 MFSK32: Closing
