This weekend, we in the northeast USA will get our first taste of hot weather. Temperatures will be in the mid-90s F, or about 35C. We will quickly find out if our air conditioning keeps the radios and PCs cool enough for reception and decoding.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 256) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). (See also tutorials on how to use Fldigi by GueroGram here and here.) 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 256, 19-24 May 2022, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:34 MFSK32: Program preview
2:41 MFSK32: Wireless power transmission at 10 GHz*
