From Kim Andrew Elliott:
Hello friends,
A few reminders …
1)
I should have
mentioned last week (or before) that with the recent time changes, VOA
Radiogram is now one hour earlier by local time in most parts of Europe
and North America. This is because VOA
Radiogram is at the same UTC times year round. See the schedule below.
2)
If you have an Android phone or tablet, the TIVAR (Text and Images Via Analog Radio) app is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/AndFlmsg/TIVAR/
It’s the receive-only, decode-only version of AndFlmsg.
3)
If you use Fldigi to
decode VOA Radiogram, Fldigi saves decoded MFSK images as png files in
the folder \fldigi.files\images\ . The easiest way for you to send
images with your reception reports,
and for me to put them in the weekly gallery, is to attach those png
files. Thanks!
This weekend’s VOA
Radiogram will consist mostly of the usual MFSK32, but it will also
include some Olivia 32-2000 in case we have anything near the poor
shortwave propagation that we experienced last weekend.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 137, 14-15 November 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
1:31 Program preview
2:43 Ice volcanoes on Pluto*

The Mighty KBC
transmitter site in Germany repeated (on shortwave, at least) The Giant
Jukebox show from 1 November on 8 November. Because of this, the Olivia
64-2000
promised for last Sunday will be repeated this weekend, at 0130 UTC
Sunday (Saturday 8:30 pm EST) on 7395 kHz. Reports to Eric:
themightykbc@gmail.com .
Thanks for your
reports from last weekend, difficult reception notwithstanding. Please
tune in and write this weekend, as we hope for better shortwave
conditions.
I’m now preparing
the gallery of MFSK images from program 129 and will begin this weekend
to respond to your reports from that program.
