Here in northern Virginia, Post Tropical Low Ophelia passed through September 24-25, bringing much needed rain and halfhearted wind gusts that did no damage. The worst disruptions were in low-lying areas near water, especially in North Carolina. And, today, remnants… Leer más ›

I hope those of you who were in the path of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Idalia did not suffer too many adverse effects. That system has moved out to the Atlantic off the North Carolina coast, and it might still be felt… Leer más ›

We’ve had two frustrating weeks with out Friday 1300-1330 UTC broadcast, 15770 kHz from WRMI Florida – which is usually the transmission that reaches the farthest in world. Last week, Shortwave Radiogram was missing, with the Overcomer Ministry in its… Leer más ›

In last week’s email I mentioned that our transmission Tuesdays at 1430-1500 UTC on 9955 kHz from WRMI Florida has been bumped in favor of RAE Argentina al Mundo in French, which is Monday through Friday in that slot. However,… Leer más ›

Listeners have noticed that our transmission Tuesday at 1430-1500 UTC on 9955 kHz from WRMI Florida – usually difficult to receive during the summer – has been replaced by other content. Today I received confirmation from WRMI that the French… Leer más ›

This was a big week in our house. I installed a new Verizon Fios router, with the help of a Verizon representative on the telephone. We were FiOS (as it was capitalized back then) customers since it was introduced to… Leer más ›

As I type this, the Washington DC area is in a Code Red situation for the smoke and haze from the Canadian wildfires. Many of you in North America are in a similar situation. It does look hazy outside, but… Leer más ›

This week in northern Virginia, we have an unusual visitor: rain. It rained most of yesterday, and it will rain, at least a bit, during the next few days. This won’t completely break our drought, but any precipitation helps. Meanwhile… Leer más ›

I hope the fires, smoke and haze that affected much of North America in the past week have not had major adverse effects on you. I don’t think they will impede our MFSK transmissions. Thanks to all of you who… Leer más ›

Thanks to Daz Man in Australia for producing last week’s special EasyDRF transmission. And thanks to everyone who participated by tuning and decoding, or attempting to decode, whether you were successful or not. When it worked, the EasyDRF results were… Leer más ›

Our transmission on Saturdays, 2300-2330 UTC, 7570 kHz from WRMI Florida, has been suffering from wide-band interference on the same frequency. The interference is intermittent: sometimes it’s there, sometimes not, sometimes it lasts for several minutes, sometimes just for a… Leer más ›
