Hello friends, As people and radio shows get older, they tend to draw less attention to their birthdays. Last weekend was program 208 of VOA Radiogram: 208 divided by 52 equals 4, so it seems that VOA Radiogram has passed its fourth anniversary. Please note that for the broadcast this Saturday at 0930-1000 UTC, 5745 kHz replaces 5865 kHz. This weekend's show includes an interesting item about the radio-free zone near the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. Another item, about the 1957 Sputnik satellite, will be in MFSK16, in case reception is difficult. Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 209, 1-2 April 2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
