Thank you if you tuned in and decoded last weekend’s Ukrainian text, even, if like most of us you have no Ukrainian.
The highlight was a 100% decode of the Ukrainian text as received by an SDR in Ukraine. This demonstrates that, if the internet is not available for any reason, text-via-radio can be a substitute, in a variety of alphabets.

The difficult task is to convince international media organizations that still have shortwave transmitters not to be too hasty in dismantling those transmitters.
Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 242) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Saturday 1330 UTC), 2010DFS in Japan and DX Sphere in Washington state (first reception!) (both Sunday 0800 UTC on 5850 kHz), and Sig Segfault on Long Island, New York (Sunday 2330 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 243, 11-13 February 2022, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:41 MFSK32: Program preview

Pop Shop Radio from British Columbia, Canada, includes “a whole variety of pop music, such as records from the 1960s and 1970s that were played on Top-40 radio stations not only in North America but also on offshore radio and stations like Radio Luxembourg.” The programs now include some MFSK32 text and an image.

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!
