R. Martí to Test MFSK16

From Kim Andrew Elliott:

Hello friends,

Starting tonight, Radio Martí will transmit a minute of MFSK16 centered on 2500 Hz, daily, according to the following schedule:
0558:40 UTC               1180  6030  7405 kHz 
0758:40 UTC               1180  5980  6030 kHz 
0858:40 UTC               1180  5980  6030 kHz 
Each transmission is 57 seconds. 


The 1180 kHz is medium wave, from the Florida Keys. The shortwave frequencies (5980, 6030, and 7405 kHz) are all via North Carolina.

You will probably hear noise on the frequency.

Recordings of your reception would be appreciated.

The email address for reception reports is included in the text transmission, but if you are not able to decode it, just send the report to radiogram@voanews.com.
