Hello friends
This week is the first Shortwave Radiogram produced using my new Windows 11 PC. The old PC was not Windows 11 eligible, and it developed the habit of crashing at inconvenient moments. The new PC is Ā«small form factor,Ā» about 1/6 the size of the old tower, so it’s a better fit for my diminutive office/shack/Shortwave Radiogram World Headquarters.
But the move up to Windows 11 means installing software compatible with the new OS. Software is usually Ā«updatedĀ» by abandoning the elegant simplicity of earlier versions. It was a struggle producing program 389, learning where basic commands are now hidden. And many times during the process, I had to fetch a file or a password from the old PC, which fortunately is still operating.Ā
It’s a good challenge for an old brain.
Happy World Radio Day, February 13. World Radio Day is organized by UNESCO. It seems to be more about UNESCO’s ideals than about radio specifically. UNESCO is commendable, but its aspirations do not always fit smoothly with the radio broadcasting of today, in the United States and in much of the world.Ā
A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 388) 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.
