I have prepared the next two editions of VOA Radiogram in advance, so
they will not include any up-to-date news items. They will, however, be
interesting shows …
Program
164, 21-22 May 2016 will begin with an MFSK32 introduction, then
transmit the same VOA Science World item about boiling water on Mars in
Olivia 64-2000, Olivia 32-1000, and Olivia 16-800.
This will be a
chance to compare the performance of these three modes, which all have
speeds in the 20-30 wpm range. The program will conclude in MFSK32 with
an image and closing announcements.
Program 165, 28-29
May 2016 will consist of six science images from the VOA Science World
Blog. All of these will be in MFSK32, although the sixth, showing a
Falcon 9 rocket launch, will be transmitted in both MFSK32 and MFSK64.
Images in MFSK32 and MFSK64 require the same amount of time to transmit;
the MFSK64 image has more resolution but is more susceptible to
interference. After the MFSK64 image, VOA Radiogram will return to
MFSK32 for closing announcements.
Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com .
