VOA Radiogram on 30/31 March will feature MFSK modes

VOA Radiogram is a very interesting new experiment using amateur digital modes in the free Fldigi software package to broadcast news.  It started March 16 with a "soft launch," then the "official launch" last weekend. This weekend, it will be featuring MFSK modes.

The blog at the VOA link is extremely informative, describing not only the Radiogram shows but similar experiments at other SWBC stations.

Here's this week's schedule:
