VOA Radiogram for 17-18 September 2016






Last weekend's ASCII art decoded here.


From Kim Andrew Elliott:

Hello friends,

VOA Radiogram this weekend will be all MFSK32, thus suitable for unattended reception. There will be ASCII art after the closing announcement. Use a monospace font such as Courier for best results.

You can see some results via Twitter even if you don't have a Twitter account. Point your browser to twitter.com/voaradiogram during the weekend.
