RFA Cantonese September 5, VOA Radiogram 6-7, and Mighty KBC

From Kim Andrew Elliott:

Hello friends,

Radio Free Asia will try digital text in its Cantonese Service on Friday, 5 September:

1458 UTC    13585 kHz
2258 UTC    15120 kHz  (Saturday early morning in East Asia)

Both frequencies are via Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands. The mode is Olivia 32-2000 centered on 1500 Hz. Expect co-channel Chinese domestic radio. Reception reports to qsl@rfa.org .

VOA Radiogram this weekend will include interesting (and longer than usual) stories, one about an Internet conference in Turkey, the other about a major Russian news agency reverting to the name TASS. There will also be a brief item in Russian, so set Configure > Colors & Fonts to the UTF-8 character set.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 75, 6-7 September 2014, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz except for two surprise modes at the end of the show:

 1:31  Program preview (now)
 2:26  Internet Governance Forum in Turkey, with image
11:02  Russia's renamed TASS news agency, with image
21:31  VOA Russian: paper microscope, with image
25:57  Closing announcements

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com .
