VOA Radiogram this weekend will use our usual MFSK32 mode, but if reception is poor, one VOA News item is in the especially robust Olivia 32-2000 mode.  

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 132, 10-11 October 2015, all in MFSK32 except where noted:

  1:34  Program preview
  2:45  European court strikes down US data treaty*
  7:49  Russia complicates US pivot to Asia*
15:03  Texting may hamper girls’ high school academics*
22:22  Olivia 32-2000: Hamburgers for Russian cosmonauts?**
26:51  MFSK32: Closing announcements*
28:24  Olivia 64-2000: Transmission schedule

* with image

** the RSID should change the mode automatically to Olivia 32-2000, but if it doesn’t, in Fldigi: Op Mode > Olivia > Custom > see Bandwidth to 2000 (Hz) and Tones to 32. You can also create a Macro with this: <MODEM:OLIVIA:2000:32>

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com

The w1hkj.com site, the usual repository for the  Fldigi suite of software, is not working normally due to an apparent attack on the site. Fldigi and the Fldigi suite of software are still available here:
