Modes menu for VOA Radiogram, March 23/24, 2013 - VOA Radiogram for March 23/24 will be similar to the past... http://t.co/ah33IhQALQ@VOARadiogram
VOA Radiogram for March 23/24 will be similar to the past weekend's program in that it features the PSK modes. Much of Kim's script will be the same. In this weekend's broadcast, however, only one mode at a time will be transmitted. This should improve the signal-to-noise ratio and ability to decode each mode.
Each will be centered on 1500 Hz:
1. BPSK31 (1:00)
2. PSK63F (1:00)
3. BPSK63 (1:00)
4. PSKR125 (1:00)
5. PSKR250 (1:00)
6. PSKR500 (1:00)
7. PSKR1000 (1:00)
8. PSKR125 (3:45) Plain text
9. PSKR250 (2:40) Flmsg* formatted (with html)
10. MFSK32 (0:55) Image
*Install Flmsg. Then, in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS > under Reception of flmsg files click Open with flmsg and Open in browser, and below that state where your Flmsg file is located.
If decoding performance is still not satisfactory, VOA Radiogram in future weekends will feature more robust modes, such as MFSK, MT63, and Olivia.
