Hello friends
Summer has transitioned to Autumn -- or vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. The seasons changed abruptly here in Northern Hemisphere when a cold front brought cooler temperatures and gust winds. Tomorrow (Friday) I will walk three blocks for a 6:50 am dentist appointment. The temperatures will probably be below 50F/10C -- so I'll need a jacket (if I can find it).
This weekend, our broadcast will include an interesting article about the early history of what eventually was known as Radio Australia. It's from the local newspaper in Shepparton, Victoria, the location of the Radio Australia shortwave transmitting site which, sadly, was taken off the air in 2017.
Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 272) are provided by Darau Bl? in Lithuania and Scott in Ontario (both Friday 1300 UTC). 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 273, 22-27 September 2022, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:34 MFSK32: Program preview
2:41 MFSK32: SpaceX wants to bring satellite internet to Iran*
