Sans doute!
Hello friends,
Last
week’s transmission Sunday at 1930-2000 UTC on 15670 kHz again did not
reach most of Europe -- for at least part of the show. See the image
above.
The
Saturday 0930-1000 broadcast on 5865 kHz also did not reach most of
Europe. Please try again this weekend, because we never know when
gray-line propagation will be favorable. This transmission
should be audible throughout the Americas and might also be heard in
the Asia-Pacific region.
This
weekend’s VOA Radiogram includes one news item in Olivia 64-2000. This
mode might provide a good decode even in conditions which result in an
unsuccessful decode of our usual MFSK32
mode. Turn off Fldigi’s squelch (SQL) for best results in Olivia
64-2000.
And
to keep the transmitter hum from mixing with the RSID, resulting in an
incorrect center audio frequency, do this in Fldigi: Configure > IDs
> ID > RsID >
unselect (turn off) Searches passband. Set the audio frequency
at 1500 Hz. Any self-adjustment of the audio frequency by Fldigi will be
no more than 200 Hz.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 192, 3-4 December 2016, all in the MFSK32 except where noted:
1:48 Program preview
2:59 U.S. Coast Guard looks to increased Asia-Pacific role*

15:55 Olivia 64-2000: UK radio amateur's ISS project
