Typical summer weather here, but even more so. Many consecutive days of temperatures above 90F, or 32C. And several days above 95F, or 25C.These hot days are often capped in the late afternoon or early evening with a rollicking thunderstorm. The accompanying winds blow branches onto power lines, and suddenly we have no electricity. Amazingly, the power to our house stayed on after a big storm yesterday. If we lost power, I would not have been about to produce this weekend’s Shortwave
Radiogram. If you ever hear a Shortwave Radiogram that is a repeat of the previous week’s show, loss of electricity at my house is a likely reason.

Most of us had good luck last week decoding the Chinese characters. An especially good example is this brief video provided by Jorge in Mexico, who used the TIVAR app.  We will try some other non-Latin alphabets in future broadcasts.

Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 161) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC) and by 2010DFS in Shimane, Japan – separate videos for 5850 and 7730 kHz Sunday at 0800 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 ten MFSK64 images.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 162,  23-26 July 2020, in MFSK modes as noted:

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.

Alonso K6KZO in Texas received these images and text 18 July 2020 at 0230-0300 UTC on 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania.
