Apologies for the mix-up in the images transmitted last weekend. I was in too much of a hurry while preparing the VOA Radiogram demonstration at the Winter SWL Fest<http://www.swlfest.com>. It was good to meet some of you there! Two weeks ago, we were impressed with the performance of the MFSK16 mode in difficult reception conditions. We will include MFSK16 again this weekend, but we will compare it to another 58-wpm mode, Olivia 8-1000. The same AP news story will be sent in each mode. Note that MFSK16 is 316 Hz wide, while Olivia 8-1000 is 1000 Hz wide. After the RSID for each mode will be a 15-second tuning signal,in case you need to manually set the mode and/or center audio frequency. Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 206, 11-12 March 2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
1:51 Program preview (now) 3:09 China seeks international law for Internet control* 10:07 North Korea bans overseas citizens from mobile Internet* 18:18 MFSK16: Satellite maps lightning flashes 21:55 Olivia 8-1000: Satellite maps lightning flashes 25:18 MFSK32: VOA tweet on International Women's Day* 27:15 Closing announcements * with image Please send reception reports to radiog...@voanews.com.

(Single-day walk-ins are welcome.) Thanks for your reception reports from last weekend, especially because I was not able tune in to most of the broadcasts while attending the Winter SWL Fest (and because of terrible shortwave reception in my hotel room). I'll try to get back on track this weekend responding to your reports. I hope you can tune in (especially because I may not be able to) and write in this weekend.
