Hello friends, SSTV images are being transmitted from the International Space Station through 14 April. Some Shortwave Radiogram listeners have been posting their reception to @SWRadiogram -- or https://twitter.com/swradiogram.net . Two examples are from Merkouris in Greece and @Hal-Fi in California.
On last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram, I was surprised by the mostly successful performance of the very fast (480 wpm) MFSK128 mode, even over some long-distance and noisy paths. The Olivia 64-2000 also prevailed even 9 dB under the music of Spike Jones. Next time I will set the level of the Olivia 64-2000 even lower. See videos by Ralf in Germany, Scott in Ontario, and Martin in Mexico, And, of course, analysis by Roger in Germany. Because the MFSK128 did so well, we will do it again this weekend, along with MFSK64 and the usual MFSK32, each with images. And a surprise mode might be lurking under the closing music. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 43, 13-16 April 2018, in MFSK modes as noted: 1:37 MFSK32: Program preview 2:50 MFSK128: New line drawings revealed in Peru* 4:33 MFSK64: Mars Express gets in-orbit upgrade* 9:30 MFSK32: The rise of wooden skyscrapers* 20:04 Foot-powered washing machine in production* 25:09 Farewell 2018 cherry blossoms* 26:56 Closing announcements Please sendreception reports to radiog...@verizon.net And visithttp://swradiogram.net Twitter:@SWRadiogram Facebookgroup: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304 Shortwave Radiogram Program 43 (6-9 April 2018) Friday 2030-2100 UTC 7780 kHz 9455 kHz MFSK128,MFSK64,MFSK32,and maybe a surprise mode.
