Hello friends,
Happy Thanksgiving to listeners in the United States. No Thanksgiving is complete without tuning in and decoding Shortwave Radiogram. You can do this Friday at 0030-0100 UTC (Thursday 1930 EST, 1830 CST, 1730 MST, 1630 PST) on 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania. Unattended reception and decoding are possible while eating Thanksgiving dinner, walking it off, sleeping it off, or watching football.
Slow scan television (SSTV) is similar to the MFSK images we transmit on Shortwave Radiogram. Many Shortwave Radiogram listeners enjoy receiving and decoding SSTV images from the International Space Station. More such transmissions are scheduled for December 1 at 1210 to 1910 UTC, and December 2 1140-1720 UTC. The frequency is 145.8 MHz in the two-meter amateur radio band, narrow FM mode. Decode the PD120 SSTV using MMSSTV or similar software. (MultiPSK decodes SSTV.)
Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 231) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC), Ralf in Germany (Saturday 1330 UTC), and 2010DFS in Shimane Prefecture, Japan (Sunday 0800 UTC on 5850 kHz). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 232, 26-28 November 2021, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:41 MFSK32: Program preview
2:47 Startup Astra reaches orbit for the first time*

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 1230 UTC on 3583 kHz USB. Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32. 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. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Thursdays 0000 UTC (Wednesdays 7 pm EST) on 3536 kHz USB.
Thanks for your reception reports!
