Hello friends,
For listeners in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene and associated storms and rainfalls, I hope damage and inconvenience are minimal. Here in northern Virginia, we are forecast to get some rain from the edges of the Helene system, and that will help alleviate our drought.
Producing this week's program was something of a challenge. I record the parts of the broadcast using Fldigi, then compile the parts using the Audacity software. This morning, Audacity froze for some reason. I had to exit the program. Audacity usually saves audio from unexpected exits. It did this time, except for the Three Mile Island story, which I had to re-record. Then I had to reassemble the show from the unnamed Audacity backup files. I might be getting too old for this. (My Windows 10 PC -- not eligible for Windows 11 -- might also be getting too old for this.)
A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 371) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). Mark maintains the audio archive in the UK. The analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
