Hello friends, The first broadcast of Shortwave Radiogram program 45 is today (Friday) at 2030-2100 UTC on 7780 kHz from WRMI Florida. (Although reception tends to be difficult beyond eastern North America.)
Last weekend's experiment with six modes was interesting. Of the three fast Thor modes, Thor 100 seemed to be less successful than Thor 50x1 and Thor 50x2. Of course, in difficult reception conditions, our "go to" MFSK32 mode prevailed over all the faster modes. Zach in Alabama had difficult reception of the Monday 0800-0830 UTC show, with these results: MFSK128: <10% MFSK64: <15% MFSK32: ~75% Thor50x1: <15% Thor50x2: <10% Thor100: <5% Videos and audio of last weekend's (program 44) broadcast can be accessed as follows: Name Location UTC Day UTC Time Freq kHz Medium URL Kim New York SDR Friday 2030-2100 7780 Audio https://soundcloud.com/voaradiogram/swrg44-200418-2030-7780-ny Sefi Israel Saturday 1600-1630 9400 Video https://youtu.be/SA8DEoaQytc BlackApple 62 Italy Saturday 1600-1630 9400 Video https://youtu.be/6geRfVLQ-5E Ralf Germany Saturday 1600-1630 9400 Video https://youtu.be/cQJ0DsE2nP0 Mark UK Saturday 1600-1630 9400 Audio archive https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ah7fj9CZV0zynm_IejUWLKL2Ye4v Scott Ontario Sunday 2330-2400 7780 Video https://youtu.be/K8V_I_fTmZo See also this analysis by Roger in Germany of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram, as well as IBC, KBC, and Broad Sepctrum Radio digital broadcasts.
