Hello friends
Our EasyDRF special last week was largely successful. Many thanks to Daz Man in Australia for producing the broadcast, and for the instructions.
If you were not able to receive or decode the EasyDRF, you have another chance by using the audio from the YouTube video provided by Scott in Ontario. Scott's reception allowed the decode of the html and six of the ten images.
Another opportunity is an IQ wav audio file provided by H0b0_Radio in Washington state. You will have to access this IQ wav file using an SDR such as HDSDR. Then you can play the EastDRF broadcast in USB, LSB, or ECSS, or more than one of these modes sequentially. This tweet from H0b0_Radio gives a good visualization of what the decoded EasyDRF looks like.
The web post for program 330 has the instructions for decoding EasyDRF, and the contact information for Daz Man if you have questions.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 330) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany (with a link to the EasyDRF web page).
We return to our usual MFSK for program 331.
