Shortwave Radiogram, 4-7 June 2020: Digital modes fraught with sarcasm

Por elradioescucha el 05/06/2020 • ( 0 )

Last weekend, there were a few examples of the Olivia modes, especially 64-2000, surviving conditions where MFSK32 showed errors. You can listen to and decode from one example posted here – WINB as received in South Australia.

Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 154) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Saturday 1330 UTC) and Ralf in Germany (Sunday 2330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

This weekend’s show is in the usual MFSK32 and MFSK64, with nine images (one MFKS32 and eight MFSK64).

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 155, 4-7 June 2020, in MFSK modes as noted:

1:42 MFSK32: Program preview
2:47 A record year for maple syrup in Canada*
8:16 MFSK64: North Koreans learn sarcasm from K-dramas*

New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as
KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency
Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the
Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1200 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with
out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1130 UTC). Check-ins are usually
in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32. Messages generally use the Flmsg
add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America,
feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA
to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of
the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send
me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram , and I
will let them know you are tuned in. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Wednesdays 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB.

Al @WD4AH in Florida
shows us what Olivia 64-2000, 32-2000, and 16-2000 look like on the
Fldigi waterfall. Also his fuzzy and artistic decode of the baby owl in
Massachusetts, in MFSK64 …
