In VOA Radiogram for the weekend on 18 and 19 May, we will continue to
experiment with images. In fact, we will transmit the same picture three ways:
in two SSTV modes and then as an MFSK32 image. Bring something to read, or an
electronics project, because these picture transmissions will take 4 to 5
minutes?each.
?
To decode the SSTV modes, several software programs are available. They include
the RX-SSTV (receive only) from http://users.belgacom.net/hamradio/rxsstv.htm ,
MMSSTV from http://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php , and Digital Master 780, part
of the Ham Radio Deluxe suite, from http://www.hrdsoftwarellc.com .
?
Before the images will be two VOA news stories in MFSK32 text, with the usual
center audio frequency of 1500 Hz. The second story is in French, as we
continue to determine if accented letters appear correctly on your display.
?
To view accented characters in Fldigi: Configure > Colors & Fonts > next to
Select Char Set, select UTF-8. To keep your selection of UTF-8, under
Configuration, click Save Config.??
?
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram the weekend on 18 and 19 May:
?
2:55??????? MFSK16 Program preview
1:59??????? MFSK32 VOA News in English
4:03??????? MFSK32 VOA News in French
1:07??????? MFSK16 Intro to SSTV transmissions
4:31??????? Scottie DX SSTV
?:10??????? Tone (to give you time to save your Scottie DX image)
5:08??????? Pasokon P5 SSTV
?:25??????? MFSK16 intro to MFSK32 image
4:07??????? MFSK32 image
1:10??????? MFSK16 closing announcements
1:22??????? Surprise mode of the week (mixes somewhat with the closing
music)???????????????????????????????????
?
On VOA Radiogram during the weekend of 25-26 May, we will experiment with the
Easypal digital SSTV mode, comparing it to MFSK32. Please download Easypal from
http://vk4aes.com . Easypal images are transmitted by radio amateurs on 14233
kHz.
?

** CHINA. 17520, May 16 at 1305, no signal at all where CNR1 was heard 23 hours
earlier, and which Ivo Ivanov concluded was a new frequency for the
earthquake-provoked National Emergency broadcast, but which has just been
relaying CNR1 much of the time. Is it gone again? 16m propagation is quite poor
today, however, even from Cuba.
Then at 1402, 24 hours later than yesterday, still no 17520 but I do find a
CNR1 on 17530, synchronized with the jammer on 11990.
Rather than Emergency service, 17530 could be jamming VOA Tibetan, but this is
Thursday and latest Aoki shows that scheduled on Tuesdays only during this hour
from Lampertheim, Germany, inaudible. But that hardly fits with VOA English via
Botswana supposedly daily 1400-1500 on 17530. And the Tibetan schedules are
highly volatile.
12000, May 16 at 1407, reconfirmed that the National Emergency service, is
carrying CNR1, and is two seconds behind 11990 CNR1 jammer, which I have been
using as a reference // checker.
12040, May 16 at 1406, CNR1 poor signal with CCI: in this case it`s jamming VOA
Chinese via Philippines this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Non-Firedrake jamming with CNR1 audio, in addition to the separate
logs which don`t correlate with former Firedrake channels:
May 16 after 1300:
17450, JBA at 1309, (and no ute whine as sometimes audible now)
15970, JBA at 1315; none in the 18s or 16s
15900, very poor at 1315
13970, poor at 1318; none in the 14s or 12s except as noted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11930, May 16 at 0520, multiple tone & pulse jamming against nothing
(never R. Mart?, anyway at night, but blocking any possibility of Belarus);
then similar weaker jamming circa 11879 where there is even less to target,
probably a spur of this tho no match on the hi side. At 0531, same jamming just
about synchronized on another non-Mart? daytime-only frequency, 13820 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 660, May 16 at 0502 UT, haven`t looked for the hummer
lately, but there it is, mixed with `The Answer` = KSKY The Metroplex;
previously tracked to XEFZ Monterrey NL, which leaves a hummy carrier on after
NA, sign-off circa 0500; Optimod presumably maxing out on the `silent` STL feed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1000, May 16 at 0540 UT, ``La Rancherita Mil AM, Ciudad
Ju?rez``, i.e. XEFV. No problem from KTOK OKC, which was on low power and/or
not modulating, as I first noted a few minutes earlier on the bathroom radio
when I could not hear it, despite WKY 930 loud as usual. XEFV can normally be
heard at night with KTOK nulled on the DX-398 close to 90 degrees away (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 16 at 0059, R. Chaski carrier detectable until cut off the
air at 0100:02*, which is 5 seconds later than yesterday. At this rate it will
take roughly 70 days to reach 0106 and another timer reset (Glenn Hauser, oK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 9746, May 16 at 1250, not much modulation audible, but fair carrier,
plenty to make annoying 4-kHz het with NHK 9750, which is all-Japanese, all the
time from 0755 to 1700 per Aoki. This has already been IDed May 15 by Ron
Howard as Voice of Han, ex-9745. It was on exactly 9746.00 so obviously an
intentional shift rather than a drift, but why? Helps BBC Singapore a little by
moving 1 kHz further away, but now a problem for NHK listeners. Maybe it`s
catching, as another Taiwan station, Fu Hsing, has been on 9774 for a long
time. At least there is nothing else on 9745 at the moment to make a 1 kHz het
--- except Bahrain supposedly 24 hours, but which we never hear here.
Today`s Aoki already has 9746 as effective May 14, but calling the station
Voice of Guanghua, 250 kW, 300 degrees from Kuanyin at 1040-2400. Yet another
version in WRTH 2013: Kuanghua Chih Sheng (Voice of Kuanghua) with SW schedule
as 0755-0005.
BTW, only RTI is in the International Section of WRTH; all the other Taiwan SW
stations including this denoted ``Broadcasts to Mainland``, are in the National
section, page 367 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TUNISIA. 7275, May 16 at 0524, IWT is still here with fair signal in Arabic.
Perhaps they are limping along with only one operational SW transmitter now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1669 monitoring: confirmed first airing on WRMI
webcast, UT Thursday May 16 at 0331; SW 9955 not checked this time. WRMI
repeats are Sat 1500, Tue 1100. Next:
Thursday 2100 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Friday 0330v on WWRB 3195 (and/or we hope
5050); UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday 0630 & 1430
on HLR 7265-CUSB (Europeans please confirm); Saturday 2329 on WTWW-2 9930;
Sunday 0400 on WTWW-1 5820; Sunday 2329 on WTWW-2 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, May 16 at 0535 UT, no dead air from KGGF, but instead
Royals/Angels silly baseball game, at the bottom of the ninth from Anaheim, on
the Royals Radio Network, sponsored by Sonic. So now we know what it takes to
keep KGGF Coffeyville KS modulating after midnight. Wonder when the taps played
this night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 960, May 16 at 0502 UT during KGWA Enid Fox-hole of no modulation
except persistent hum, main occupant is blues music with harmonica, so presumed
WABG Greenwood MS, which others have concluded is sometimes on day facilities
at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

LRA 36 was on air on May 15 on footprint 15476.003 kHz.
But not heard tonight May 16 here in Europe.
But RAE Italian sce noted at 1940 UT May 16,
footprint 15344.845 kHz, wandered down 10 Hertz within 2 minutes.
RAE General Pacheco in French language started late at 2002:45 UTC,
and wandered still downwards 20 Hertz, now on 15344.825 kHz at 2003 UTC.
