Last weekend’s transmission of Russian text in MFSK64 worked well for most listeners. Using a receiver in Slovakia, I had perfect decodes on 19 April of the 0230 broadcast on 5745 kHz and the 1930 broadcast on 15670 kHz.

This weekend will be straightforward MFSK32 except for the MT63-2000L bonus mode during the closing music.  

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 108, 25-26 April 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:

  2:45  Report urges overhaul of US international broadcasting*
  8:46  CPJ names the ten most censored countries*
15:44  Turkmenistan cracks down on satellite dishes*
23:34  Ukrainian channels taken off Crimea cable TV*
26:30  Closing announcements
23:09  MT63-2000L: Bonus mode of the week
