Hellofriends, I have received requests to try some of the “new and exotic” modes on Shortwave Radiogram. Accordingly, this weekend, we will transmit one news item in Thor 22. Thor 22 is not an especially new mode, but its ability to send and receive images is new. You will need a newer version of Fldigi -- I used 3.23.30.
The Thor 22RSID will be transmitted. After that, there will be five seconds of silence, in case you need to set the mode manually. When the image is transmitted, a window will open. When the transmission of the image is completed,click the Save button. That will place the decoded Thor 22 image in the same folder where your MFSK32 images are deposited -- \fldigi.files\images\ Using TIVAR on an Android device, the Thor 22 text will decode if Thor 22 is added to the mode list. Unfortunately, TIVAR cannot, in its present version,decode Thor 22 images. By the way,I sometimes see THOR (all capital letters) and sometimes Thor (only the first letter capitalized). I don’t know which is correct. If THOR is an acronym, it should be all caps. Most of this weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram will be in the usual MFSK32 mode. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 16,7-8 October 2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted: 1:38 Program preview 2:45 Nobel prize in chemistry* 8:56 BBC expands its services to India* 18:47 Thor 22: 60th anniversary of Sputnik* 24:22 MFSK32:Images* 27:38 Closingannouncements * with image(s) Please sendreception reports to radiog...@verizon.net And visithttp://swradiogram.net Twitter:@SWRadiogram Facebookgroup: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304 Shortwave Radiogram Transmission Schedule Saturday 1600-1630 UTC 9400 kHz Space Line, Bulgaria Sunday 0600-0630 UTC 7730 kHz WRMI Florida Sunday 2030-2100 UTC 11580 kHz WRMI Florida Sunday 2330-2400 UTC 11580 kHz WRMI Florida The Mighty KBC transmits to Europe Saturdays at 1500-1600 UTC on 9400 kHz (via Bulgaria), with the minute of MFSK at about 1530 UTC (if you are outside of Europe, listen via websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ ).
