Shortwave Radiogram schedules, Friday-Sunday

 




Hello friends

The autumn leaves have almost all fallen here. The leaves have been raked to the street, where the county vacuum truck will pick them up eventually. That's the event that indicates the winter has arrived in our neighborhood. At least we now have some holiday lights -- you will see an example in this weekend's images -- to replace the fall colors.

Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 233) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC) and by 2010DFS in Japan (amazing reception Sunday at 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 234, 10-12 December 2021, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:39  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:45  Print books better than tablets for reading to toddlers*
 8:01  MFSK64: Thirty years since Pan Am Airways shut down*
14:56  This week's images*
28:00  MFSK32: Closing announcements 

* with image(s)

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!
