I hope everyone has recovered from the Program 300 celebration last week.🙂

Now we settle into our pattern of MFSK32 text, MFSK64 text, and MFSK64 images. We find the MFSK32 and MFSK64 work best in typical shortwave reception conditions. And a definite advantage of MFSK is that the mode accommodates both text and images. If you would like to try other modes on Shortwave Radiogram, let me know.

I recently received a reception report from a listener in China. It claimed reception on 9955 kHz, April 11, 1430-1500 UTC. I thought this might be a mistake, but I recalled Shortwave Radiogram was formerly on 9955. I checked the WRMI program schedule, and sure enough Shortwave Radiogram is on their System B schedule Tuesdays at 1430 UTC. So let’s tune in Tuesday to confirm this.

A video of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 300) 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 301, 20-25 April 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:37  MFSK32: Program preview
  2:45  MFSK32: Saturn’s icy rings probably heat its atmosphere*
  9:15  MFSK64: Citizen scientists can hear the “sounds” of space
14:04  MFSK64: This week’s images*
28:43  MFSK32: Closing announcements
