The big solar storm of April 23/24 certainly had an effect on the Monday 0800-0830 UTC broadcast, 5850 kHz from WRMI Florida. The signal here in northern Virginia was weak and unusable. Via SDRs in Canada and Minnesota, I heard nothing. But I decoded successfully via SDRs in California, Colorado, Hawaii and Australia. The space weather maps showing a line across the United States, at about the north-south halfway mark, indicating where the aurora would be visible, were also good predictors of shortwave propagation.

On April 25, we confirmed that WRMI has indeed reinstated our transmission at 1430 UTC on Tuesdays on 9955 kHz. The beam heading is 160°, nominally towards the Caribbean, but it is often heard many places in North America and beyond. The variability of propagation on 9955 kHz makes for interesting reception.

A video of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 301)  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 302, 27 April-2 May 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

  1:39  MFSK32: Program preview
