I'm late again with this weekly email. After producing Shortwave Radiogram on Thursday, I sometimes don't have the time - or energy - to produce this email until the next day. I will try to get back on schedule next week.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 108), Friday 1300 UTC, is provided by Scott in Ontario. Ralf in Germany usually also produces a video for us, but reception last Sunday at 2330 UTC was not good at his location. 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 nine images.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 109, 18-21 July 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:42 MFSK32: Program preview
2:49 Planting trees can buy time to fight climate change*
9:18 MFSK64: Apollo 11 needed world participation*
15:28 This week's images*
28:17 MFSK32: Closing announcements
* with image(s)

“This is a Music Show” is the newest addition to digital modes via analog shortwave. Most of the show is a music show, but the host transmits some MFSK text and image near the end of the broadcast. It’s transmitted on WRMI, 9395 kHz, Thursday 0130-0230 UTC (Wednesday evening in the Americas). Also look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show. thisisamusicshow@gmail.com . www.instagram.com/thisisamusicshow/ www.twitter.com/ThisIsAMusicSho/
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!
