Hello friends,
This week on Shortwave Radiogram, I violate my own rule against transmitting stories about AI. Artificial intelligence gets so much news and discussion we don’t need more from SWRG. But this week’s item involves propaganda and disinformation, sufficiently interesting to offset the IE stuff.
Also a story about the debate within the European Union about whether to provide funding for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Developments concerning this topic are moving quickly, so this news might be overtaken by events by our last transmission on April 9.
My Yaesu transceiver has developed an audio problem, so it will be going back to Yaesu for warranty service. For direct reception (not via an SDR) of the Wednesday 1330-1400 UTC broadcast, 15770 kHz, I swapped in my Sangean ATS-909X receiver. The nice thing about this Sangean receiver is that it has an external antenna jack, and a line-out jack, so that audio is not muted. My new Lenovo small-form-factor PC has a separate mic jack, not just one of those combo ports. I made sure of that when shopping for computers. So by way of a patch cord from the Sangean to the Lenovo, it worked.
There were some errors in the MFSK64 text. I noticed deep fades in the Fldigi waterfall. Probably the Sangean’s AGC (assuming it has one) is not as good as my transceiver’s AGC. And the images showed some interesting artifacts. Was there weird multipath between WRMI Florida and here in Virginia? Or was it caused by the Sangean and/or the unusual audio connection to Fldigi?
Scott in Ontario, called out on an errand, was unable to provide his usual video this past week. But H0B0_Radio provides this IQ file. You can open it in an SDR for various adjustments. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
