Hello friends, I have prepared the next two editions of VOA Radiogram in advance, so they will not include any up-to-date news items. They will, however, be interesting shows Program 164, 21-22 May 2016 will begin with an MFSK32 introduction, then transmit the same VOA Science World item about boiling water on Mars in Olivia 64-2000, Olivia 32-1000, and Olivia 16-800. This will be a chance to compare the performance of these three modes, which all have speeds in the 20-30 wpm range. The program will conclude in MFSK32 with an image and closing announcements.
Program 165, 28-29 May 2016 will consist of six science images from the VOA Science World Blog. All of these will be in MFSK32, although the sixth, showing a Falcon 9 rocket launch, will be transmitted in both MFSK32 and MFSK64. Images in MFSK32 and MFSK64 require the same amount of time to transmit; the MFSK64 image has more resolution but is more susceptible to interference. After the MFSK64 image, VOA Radiogram will return to MFSK32 for closing announcements. Please send reception reports to radiog...@voanews.com<mailto:radiog...@voanews.com> . VOA Radiogram transmission schedule (all days and times UTC): Sat 0930-1000 5745 kHz Sat 1600-1630 17580 kHz Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz All via the Edward R.
