VOA Radiogram, 20-21 February 2016: Winter at the South Pole

Last weekend’s World Radio Day edition of VOA Radiogram was successful, based on the number of emails I received, and the response on Twitter. Even if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can see many of the decoded images at http://twitter.com/voaradiogram . If you are on Twitter, follow @voaradiogram for program reminders and retweets from listeners.

This weekend, we resume Olivia 64-2000 as our robust mode of the week. Most of the show will be in the usual MFSK32.
