WINB in Pennsylvania has added a new transmission time for Shortwave Radiogram: Thursday at 2330-2400 UTC on 9265 kHz (analog). Previously, I was finishing up the production of Shortwave Radiogram at about this time on Thursday. I've moved production ahead a few hours, so it's uploaded to WINB for today's broadcast. If reception is not good, or nonexistent, http://winb.com has a live stream from which you can decode Shortwave Radiogram.
Last weekend's Olivia 64-2000 was 15 dB under music, but for most listeners, it prevailed. producing a good decode of the text. Audio of the show as received in California is available here, so you can try decoding the Olivia 64-2000 yourself.
Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 98), Friday 1300 UTC, are provided by Scott in Ontario and by radio no koe in Japan (Olivia 64-2000 segment received via SDR in Italy). Videos of segments of the Sunday 2330 UTC transmission are produced by Ralf in Germany and by COMMS Partisan in Ohio: Fldigi settings, Armed Forces crossband test, images, and Olivia 64-2000. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.
This weekend's show is in the usual MFSK32 and MFSK64, with some ASCII art in MFSK64. For the ASCII art to display correctly, use a monospace font such a Courier, Courier News, Lucida Console, or Consolas.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 99, 10-12 May 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:35 MFSK32: Program preview
2:43 Mysterious radio signal disabled key fobs

New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1200 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1130 UTC). Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32 (PA NBEMS is experimenting with Thor 50x1 for messages). Messages generally use the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America, feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram , and I will let them know you are tuned in.
Thanks for your reception reports!
