Hello friends,
Last weekend, it was
the Sunday 0230-0300 UTC broadcast on 5745 kHz that provided the most
difficulty for listeners. Reception in Europe was non-existent. And it
was not as good as usual in most of the Americas.
Ontario was an exception, as you can see in this video by Scotty in
Toronto …
From the Saturday 1600-1630 UTC show, Youtube videos were produced by “BlackApple 62” in Italy …
And by Tim in Colorado, same time, same frequency …
You can watch their decoding, or do your own decoding using the audio from the videos.
This weekend’s VOA Radiogram will be all MFSK32, because I did not have enough time to squeeze in an MFSK16 item.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 212, 22-23 April 2017, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz …
