Shortwave Radiogram, 31 October-3 November 2019

Por elradioescucha el 01/11/2019 • ( 0 )

I just realized that the first transmission of Shortwave Radiogram,today (Thursday) at 2330-2400 UTC, will compete with Halloween. Be careful out there, especially in eastern North America, where storms are
expected.

Time changes continue this weekend. Many clocks are turning back
one hour – despite what I wrote in last week’s email. The European time
change is complete,and the North American time change begins Sunday of
this weekend. The schedules on the WRMI frequencies used by WRMI will
stay with UTC. As of 3 November, WINB on 9265 will (I think) stay with
local Eastern time, but the DRM will change to 13690 kHz and (I think)
stay with UTC.

Videos of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 123) are provided by Lorenzo in Italy (Thursday 2330 UTC), Scott in Ontario (Sunday 0800 on 5850 kHz), and Jeff in Oklahoma (Sunday 2330 UTC). These and the audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK give you one more chance to hear the world’s loudest bird!. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.

This weekend’s show is in the usual MFSK32 and MFSK64 .

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 124, 31 October-3 November 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:

1:40 MFSK32: Program preview
2:43 Asteroid Hygeia may be a dwarf planet*
7:38 MFSK64: Carbon capture might not be a great idea
13:05 This week’s images*
29:07 MFSK32: Closing announcements

The Mighty KBC transmits to North America Sundays at 0000-0200 UTC (Saturday 8-10 pm EDT) on 5960 kHz, via Germany. A minute of MFSK is at about 0130 UTC. Reports to Eric: themightykbc@gmail.com . See also http://www.kbcradio.eu/ and https://www.facebook.com/TheMightyKbc/.

“This is a Music Show” is the newest addition to
digital modes via analog shortwave. Most of the show is a music show,
but the host transmits some MFSK text and image near the end of the
broadcast. It’s transmitted on WRMI, Thursdays at 0100-0200 UTC on 5850
kHz and 0130-0230 UTC on 9395 kHz (Wednesday evening in the Americas).
Also look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show.

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 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the
Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1300 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with
out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1230 UTC). Check-ins are usually
in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32 (PA NBEMS is experimenting with
Thor 50×1 for messages). 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, Wednesdays at 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB.
