Hello friends, See the schedule information below for a special transmission of The Mighty KBC on 28 May. The KBC digital modes will be a combination of text in MFSK64, 32, and 16. Only four more editions of VOA Radiogram remain, with the last show during the weekend of June 17-18. I retire from VOA on June 23. A radio program similar to VOA Radiogram will begin June 24 on WRMI. Details will be announced as that date approaches. The voaradiogram.net<http://voaradiogram.net/> website and @VOARadiogram<https://twitter.com/VOARadiogram/> Twitter account will remain "live" for at least a few months after VOA Radiogram ends, so check those sources for links to the new website and Twitter account. VOA Radiogram listeners have been conducting some interesting experiments.Recent examples are by Merkouris in Greece, who decoded an MFSK32 image from the second audio harmonic of a VOA Radiogram broadcast ... http://voaradiogram.net/post/160838081557/decoding-mfsk-images-from-audio-harmonics-just Then Roger in Germany decoded from the third audio harmonic of a KBC transmission ... http://voaradiogram.net/post/161092313997/fooling-mother-nature-decoding-mfsk32-images-from And I think that is a far as we will be able to go with harmonic image decoding! VOA Radiogram this weekend will include some Spanish, so please use the UTF-8 character set again to make sure all the accent marks display correctly.
