From Kim Andrew Elliott:
Hello
friends,
The Mighty
KBC will change its North America frequency this weekend. Please see details
below.
This may be
a difficult weekend for Shortwave Radiogram. Hurricane Irma is forecast to move
up the middle of Florida, and will likely be a major hurricane as it passes
near Okeechobee, site of WRMI’s transmitters. The outer bands will reach WRMI
for the Sunday 0600 UTC broadcast, while the eye will be near Okeechobee during
the 2030 and 2330 UTC transmissions.
If you don’t
hear Shortwave Radiogram on its WRMI frequencies, that will probably be the
reason. We wish Jeff and his colleagues the best of luck during this challenge.
And our thoughts are with Shortwave Radiogram listeners in the affected regions,
including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
Another
reason you might not be able to hear Shortwave Radiogram this weekend is solar
events, which are forecast to affect radio communications. See the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center for
updates.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave
Radiogram, program 12,
9-10 September 2017, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500:
1:19 Program preview
2:32 Huge solar flares could affect Earth*
8:57 Eclipse may have affected HF propagation*
18:22 A look at TWA's
