Hello friends,

This past week was one of those weeks that I had two big deadlines: preparing program 415 of Shortwave and writing my monthly column for the North American Shortwave Association (NASWA). Add to this various household tasks and my usual poor time management, and I was compelled to apply the broadcasting version of the parsimony principle: The text portion of program 415 will be most of my September NASWA column. In fact, if you decode it, you will read it before NASWA members do. (Past columns are available at kimandrewelliott.com.)

The column includes news and observations about 1) the US Agency for Global Media shortwave transmitting station near Greenville, North Carolina, 2) the attempt by Kari Lake to reassign the Voice of America director to Greenville, 3) some court victories by VOA employees in their attempt to reverse the shutdown of most of VOA, and 4) emotional scenes as VOA employees are called back to the headquarters building in Washington to clear their desks.

For more information about the actions of displaced VOA employees to restore VOA, see savevoa.com and its social media accounts. There will be a benefit concert for VOA employees in the Washington DC area on September 5.

In program 415, after my verbiage, you will be rewarded with ten MFSK64 images.

A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 414) 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. Also available are IQ recordings and other resources from the WINB Thursday 2330 and Saturday 0230 broadcasts from H0B0_Radio in Washington state.
