Most of the show is in MFSK32. Patch the audio from your radio to your PC, and use Fldigi from w1hkj.com to decode the text and images. You'll be amazed at what a 50-year-old shortwave broadcast transmitter can do.
If shortwave reception conditions, such as this weekend's solar events, render voice content difficult to comprehend, digital text often gets through.
