Shortwave Radiogram, 27 al 30 Mayo 2021: programa 206

Por elradioescucha el 28/05/2021 • ( 0 )

This weekend we will finally transmit a photo of a cicada. The present brood of the 17-year cicadas, and their wonderful sound, won’t be around much longer. And I probably won’t be around for their next appearance, so I am enjoying the critters as much as I can.

Speaking of things that are going away, this weekend will be the last transmission of Shortwave Radiogram on WRMI’s 9955 kHz, Saturday 0000-0030 UTC (Friday evening in the Americas). WRMI has a new show for that slot. The 9955 kHz frequency was great while it lasted, reaching from South America (its nominal target) to upper Alberta, and sometimes Europe.

A video of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 205) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 206, 27-30 May 2021, in MFSK modes as noted (with ten MFSK64 images):

1:41 MFSK32: Program preview
2:44 Eclipse festival seeks hams and SWLs
5:04 MFSK64: Gardeners battle invasive goutweed*
11:29 This week’s images*
28:34 MFSK32: Closing announcements

* with image(s)

Also this weekend, Daz Man writes: “I have some Ham-DRM data. Needed: EasyPal or WinDRM plus 7zip (Windows) QSSTV or TRXAMADRM plus p7zip (Linux) Data is Mode E, QAM4, 3 passes – also with 3dB PAPR processing to boost SNR.”

“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.

Thanks for your reception reports!
