This weekend’s VOA Radiogram will be all-MFSK32 except for the bonus mode. We will try another non-Latin alphabet, this time Korean. You will need the UTF-8 character set. In Fldigi: Configure > Colors & Fonts > Rx/Tx Character set. (NB: If the Korean characters do not display correctly in Fldigi, copy the “boxes” to a word process, and then they should display correctly.)
