Interesting VOA Radiogram for November 9 & 10

VOA Radiogram continues its developmental mode with the Fldigi developers.  This will include a transmission of the new Thor100 plus more comparisons between long-interleave MFSK and the short-interleave version that's standard on VOA Radiogram. This will require another update to the Fldigi software, available at w1hkj.com .

Don't forget the new local times in the US after "falling back" last Sunday.

From Kim Elliott:

Hello friends,

VOA Radiogram during the weekend on 9-10 November 2013, will be a bit different. In addition to the usual MFSK modes, we will transmit Thor100. This is at the request of one of the Fldigi developers, who needs some actual (not simulated) shortwave reception of Thor100 for his testing.

We will continue our comparisons of the new long-interleave modes MFSK64L and MFSK128L with their short counterparts.

All of the modes to be broadcast this weekend are available in the latest version of Fldigi: 3.21.77, available from w1hkj.com.

Here is the lineup of modes for VOA Radiogram, program 32, 9-10 November 2013:

2:55  MFSK16: Program preview

4:35  MFSK32: Radio France International memorial and logo
