Shortwave Radiogram, 15-17 January 2021

Por elradioescucha el 15/01/2021 • ( 0 )

Mid-winter (in the Northern Hemisphere) has created several opportunities for good shortwave reception – and some frequencies that are impossible to hear, depending on your location. You can see listeners’ results at Twitter @SWRadiogram, or if you don’t have a Twitter account, visit https://twitter.com/swradiogram and scroll down.

A video of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 186) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Sunday 0800 UTC on 5850 kHz because, again, the 15770 kHz transmissions have been bouncing over his location). 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 eleven MFSK64 images. (No time for a surprise mode. Last weekend the surprise mode was Olivia 64-2000.)

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 187, 15-17 January 2021, in MFSK modes as noted:

1:38 MFSK32: Program preview
2:45 Harnessing Earth’s magnetic field for cubesat propulsion
6:46 MFSK64: Reactor converts carbon monoxide to acetic acid
9:07 This week’s images
28:16 MFSK32: Closing announcements

The Mighty KBC will not transmit this weekend while Eric recovers from the virus (he is feeling better). Usually it is to North America Sundays at 0000-0200 UTC (Saturday 7-9 pm EST) on 5960 kHz, via Germany. A minute of MFSK is at about 0130 UTC. Reports to Eric: themightykbc@gmail.com . See also http://www.kbcradio.eu/ and https://www.facebook.com/TheMightyKbc/.

“This is a Music Show” Most of the show is a music show, but the host transmits some MFSK text and image near the end of the broadcast. It’s transmitted on WRMI, Thursdays at 0200-0300 UTC on 5850 kHz (Wednesday evening in the Americas) and a new time also on WRMI, Wednesdays at 2100-2200 UTC on 7780 kHz (aimed towards Europe) . Also look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show. thisisamusicshow@gmail.com . www.twitter.com/ThisIsAMusicSho/ @ThisIsAMusicSho

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 1300 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1230 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, Thursdays 0000 UTC (Wednesdays 7 pm EST) on 3536 kHz USB.
