From Kim Andrew Elliott:
Hello friends,
If you participated in last weekend's
amateur radio Field Day exercise, I hope you had a good time and lots of
contacts. Because of travel, I missed Field Day entirely.
This weekend's program includes two
gray-scale/grey-scale (black and white) images, because they take less
time to transmit. That allowed me more time for the four text news
stories, one of them in the rather slow Olivia 32-2000
mode.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 118, 4-5 July 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted ...
1:32 Program preview
2:48 Christchurch NZ rebuilds after earthquake*
10:39 Rosetta spacecraft finds sinkholes on comet**
16:56 One-person flying vehicles**
22:34 Olivia 32-2000: World's first 3D-printed office building
28:12 MFSK32: Closing announcements
29:08 BPSK63F: Bonus mode of the week.
* with color image
** with gray-scale image
(The closing music is the overture from the musical play
1776, to mark Independence Day in the United States.)
Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com

Thank you for your reports from last weekend. Good to hear from several news listeners.
Because of my travel and audience
research tasks (which occupy 80% of my work week), I am even
further behind in answering your reports. I hope to answer most reports
from program 115 today (a holiday, so no distractions from
the pesky audience research datasets!).
