Hello friends,

After days of extreme heat and humidity, which many of you also experienced, there was thunder and rain this afternoon, which brought down the temperature.  The window in my office/shack is now open, though there is some lingering humidity.

The improved weather will allow me, reluctantly, to pull down my best amateur radio antenna. It’s an «inverted U» involving 150 feet (46 M) of wire, and two radials. My wife insists that a tall pine tree in our back yard is unhealthy and must come down. This will deprive the inverted U of its apex.The new apex will probably have to be a tripod on a roof peak. 

Olivia success. During the past week, The Mighty KBC again included a station identification in Olivia 64-2000. I was able to find some examples of the Olivia 64-2000 successfully decoding in very poor reception. Two examples are here — one shortwave and one medium wave. You can decode from the audio. I will be adding a third example, from Finland on shortwave, probably tomorrow, August 1. 

A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 344) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
