From Kim Andrew Elliott:
Hello friends,
Most shortwave
broadcast stations change many of their frequencies twice a year to
correspond with seasonal changes in propagation. The B15 frequency
season begins Sunday, 25 October. Because the two frequency
changes for VOA Radiogram occur during Saturday broadcasts, these will
not be effective until 31 October. See the old and new frequencies
below.
VOA Radiogram this
weekend will mostly be in our usual MFSK32 mode, but if reception is
difficult, there will be one item on Olivia 32-2000.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 134, 24-25 October 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
1:33 Program preview (now)
2:43 New VOA Radiogram and VOA English frequencies*
6:43 Press freedom in Turkey*
8:52 Cassini images of Saturn moon Enceladus*
14:52 Olivia 32-2000: Heavy rainfall favors grass**
19:17 MFSK32: Closing announcements*
28:13 Olivia 64-2000: Transmission schedule
* with image
** If your RxID is
on (green), the RSID should automatically change the mode to Olivia
32-2000. If it does not, in Fldigi: Op Mode > Olivia > Custom >
Bandwith:2000, Tones:32.
Please send reception reports to
radiogram@voanews.com.
