Himalayan VOA Radiogram for 30-31 August

From Kim Andrew Elliott:

Hello friends,

VOA Radiogram during the weekend of 30-31 August will begin with the transmission of a straight vertical blue line. Some of us experience slant when we decode MFSK images, so this line will help us determine if we have a slant problem.  If your line is slanted, URLs for web pages that might help solve the problem will be provided.

Near the end of the program will be a brief sample of Tibetan language text. “Chicken tracks” like this will appear in the Fldigi receive pane…

Copy this line and paste it to a word processor, and the Tibetan text might display correctly.  Your PC will need the MS Himalayan font installed.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 74, 30-31 August 2014:

1:30  Program preview

 2:31  Vertical line for sound card calibration
