Fwd: Shortwave Radiogram, 15-18 June 2018

[Steve Bellner]

Hello friends,

Last weekend was a success in that our transmission of Japanese text was received and decoded in Japan. Audio of that reception (from an SDR) is available here. You can decode from that audio. It begins with some mostly unsuccessful MFSK32, then on to the much more robust Olivia 64-2000.

There were also many good image decodes, which you can peruse at https://twitter.com/swradiogram. 

Videos of the Saturday 1600 UTC show are available from radio no koe in Japan (using an SDR in New Zealand), Marco in Italy, and Ralf in Germany; and of the Sunday 2330 transmission from Scott in Ontario. Also available is the audio archive maintained by Mark in the UK, and analysis of the weekend's digital-via-analog broadcasts by Roger in Germany.

This weekend will include some text in Arabic. Be sure to use the UTF-8 character set, which is default in TIVAR and newer versions of Fldigi. Also eight images (two MFSK32 and six MFSK64).

And as it is program 52, that means we have completed one year of Shortwave Radiogram. Shortwave Radiogram is the successor to VOA Radiogram, which began on 2013. Thank you for your support!

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 52, 15-18 June 2018, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:35  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:40  Excerpt of Arabic text
 3:52  Restoration of Prague's astronomical clock*
10:40  MFSK64: End of net neutrality in the USA*
16:49  Five images*
26:31  MFSK32: Closing announcements*
