Hello friends,
Last weekend’s
comparison of images in MFSK16, MFSK32, MFSK64, and SSTV Scottie DX, was
interesting. In general, I think, it supports our use of MFSK32 both
for text and images.
Here’s one example comparing the four modes:

This weekend on VOA
Radiogram, we return to our usual MFSK32 mode, except for one news item
in Olivia 32-2000, which might succeed even in poor reception
conditions.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 123, 8-9 August 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
1:31 Program preview
2:48 Facial expressions of horses*
8:21 Use of drones to transport blood samples*
14:48 Hijacking radio signals from computer accessories*
20:32 Olivia 32-2000: Poll indicates Russians favor Internet censorship*
27:07 MFSK32: Closing announcements
28:08 Olivia 64-2000: VOA Radiogram transmission schedule

I have returned from my week off, with a large pile of audience research work on my desk. Because of this, I am now
four weeks behind in answering your emails. But I will answer
them, with galleries of images decoded by VOA Radiogram listeners all
over the world.
I hope you can tune in and write in this weekend.
