Hello friends, Shortwave Radiogram will be the name of the show that will replace VOA Radiogram, starting 24 June. "Shortwave Radiogram" is not as creative as most of the names suggested by VOA Radiogram listeners. Thanks for those ideas! The new website will be http://www.swradiogram.net , the new email radiog...@verizon.net , and the new Twitter account @SWRadiogram .
Last weekend's new transmission via WRMI Florida, Sunday 0600-0630 on 7730 kHz,was, to my surprise, audible in Europe, at least via http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901 in the Netherlands. Reception was marginal at my house in Virginia (and I was only marginally awake at 2:00 am local time). I received a great signal using an SDR in Hawaii and a good signal via Australia. This weekend is the penultimate (always wanted to use that word in a sentence)VOA Radiogram, so please tune in if you can. The entire program will be in MFSK32. It will include some Arabic text, that prints from right to left. You will need the UTF-8 character set for the Arabic text to display correctly. There will also be two images of the North Carolina transmitting site. Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 219, 10-11 June 2017, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz: 1:47 Program preview 2:53 Bus-train hybrid drives on painted tracks* 6:27 India launches heavy satellite* 12:57 Arabic text from Alhurra * ** 16:33 Three photos* 24:49 Closing announcements* * with image ** Use UTF-8 character set Please send reception reports to radiog...@voanews.com.
