Hello friends
As I type this, the Washington DC area is in a Code Red situation for the smoke and haze from the Canadian wildfires. Many of you in North America are in a similar situation. It does look hazy outside, but not as bad as our Code Purple a few weeks ago. With our temperature now 85F/29C, I would usually leave the windows open. But they are now closed to keep the bad air out.
One of our news stories this weekend is about research showing that a regular daytime naps are associated with healthier and larger brains. On Thursdays, I am usually awake at about 3 am to produce Shortwave Radiogram, finishing at about noon. By then, a two-hour nap is obligatory, after which I start this weekly email. It's good to know my daytime naps may have a benefit. (I knew I would become a daytime napper in the year or two before I retired, occasionally nodding off briefly at my desk.)
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 310) is provided by Scott in Ontario. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. The analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 311, 29 June-4 July 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:
