Hello friends
In the northern hemisphere, nights are still long enough that our "red-eye" transmission Monday 0800-0830 UTC on 5850 kHz often reaches the western parts of Europe. Sometimes a Stanag military data signal is also on 5850, but the Shortwave Radiogram MFSK32 can sometimes be received around the edges of the Stanag signal. Usually, this 0800 UTC broadcast on 5850 kHz is limited to North America and, occasionally, Hawaii. In Europe, try 5850 while you can.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 288) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). Another interesting video, in German, by DD0UL QTC in Germany, compares the reception and decoding of Shortwave Radiogram using standard AM versus synchronous AM. 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 289, 27-30 January 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:31 MFSK32: Program preview
2:37 MFSK32: Rare earth elements from coal waste*
8:46 MFSK64: New potential for ancient mint plants*
13:54 MFSK64: This week's images*
28:36 MFSK32: Closing announcements
* with image(s)

It’s transmitted on WRMI, Thursdays at 0200-0300 UTC on 5850 kHz (Wednesday evening in the Americas). Also, look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show. thisisamusicshow@gmail.com www.twitter.com/ThisIsAMusicSho/ @ThisIsAMusicSho https://thisisamusicshow.com
