Hello friends,
Fortunately, there were no technical mishaps last weekend. And
propagation was, for the most part, good. The Friday 2030-2100 UTC transmission
on 7780 kHz is beginning to be audible in Europe as the northern hemisphere
days become shorter. (And speaking of the days getting shorter, The Mighty
KBC's transmission to North America changes to 5960 kHz this Sunday at
0000-0200 UTC; a minute of MFSK64 is at 0130 UTC.)
I was happy to include a news item in German, because of the many
Shortwave Radiogram listeners and friends in Germany. There will be more German
this weekend, about the Radio
Taiwan International German service test transmissions to Europe via Space
Line in Bulgaria. The first one is today (Friday) at 1900-1930 UTC on 5900 kHz.
Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 63) are
provided by Ralf in
Germany (Saturday 1600 UTC) and Scott in Ontario (Sunday 2330 UTC). Mark in
the UK maintains the audio archive. Roger in Germany produced his analysis.
This weekend, Shortwave Radiogram will transmit in our usual
combination of MFSK32, MFSK128, and MFSK64, including seven MFSK images.
Here is the
lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 64, 7 to 10 September 2018, in
MFSK modes as noted:
1:36 MFSK32: Program preview
2:58 World' largest offshore wind farm launches*
