Hello friends, The annual Winter SWL Fest will be March 1-3 at Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.I will attend March 2 and 3. Hope to see some of you there. Walk-ins are welcome, but let them know by Friday (March 2) morning if you want to attend the Saturday evening banquet. Response to last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram was somewhat light. I think this was partly due to poor propagation during the Sunday 2030 and 2330 UTC transmissions on 7780 kHz from WRMI in Florida. On the other hand, the Saturday 1600 UTC broadcast on 9400 kHz from Bulgaria was good to most of Europe, and even received in Ontario (see above). The Monday 0800 UTC broadcast was also received well in many parts of North America, although it's difficult to find North Americans awake at that hour. I will post some results at http://swradiogram.net, and you can see more at https://twitter.com/kaedotcom .
We will resume experiments with comparative modes soon, but this weekend will be all MFSK32. It includes details about plans for shortwave in the FY2019 budget of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (includes VOA, RFE/RL, Radio Free Asia,Radio/TV Martí, Radio Sawa and Alhurra). Not all the news is bad!
