Hello
friends,
The first
Shortwave Radiogram has been uploaded to WRMI. Instead of the .wav file that I sent
to the VOA North Carolina transmitter site, the file for WRMI is .mp3, 128
kbps. This should be more than adequate for good decoding, but if you experience
problems that might be related to the audio format, please let me know.
Another
challenge with the first Shortwave Radiogram is sending this email to the
approximately one thousand listeners on the VOA Radiogram email list. The VOA
Outlook-based email system had a limit of 400 emails, so I sent them in groups
of 400, 400, remainder. The radiogram@verizon.net
is actually administered by AOL Mail, so we will learn how many recipients they
tolerate. If this email comes to you from an address other than radiogram@verizon.net, please continue
to use radiogram@verizon.net for
emails to Shortwave Radiogram.
To keep
things simple, the first VOA Radiogram will all be in MFSK32. It will include
six images.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave
Radiogram, program 1, 25 June 2017, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz:
