Hello friends,
We are seeing signs of the changing seasons. Changes in the amount of daylight versus darkness affect our weather, and they affect the condition of the ionosphere, which affects shortwave reception and optimum frequencies. Because most Shortwave Radiogram frequencies do not change, you may notice better, or worse, reception as we move later in the year.
Speaking of weather, a tropical system brought some rain to northern Virginia, but not enough to break our drought.
And speaking of season, it's election season. That means candidates' signs on every median of every street that has a median here in Arlington.
A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 370) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 371, 19-25 September 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:
