VOA Radiogram has been the subject of many YouTube videos. To find these videos, go to youtube.com and search on VOA Radiogram. If you want the most recent videos, use a filter such as “this week” or “this month.”

The most prolific contributor of YouTube videos of VOA Radiogram reception and decoding is Tim, K0RUS, in Colorado. Almost every week, Tim receives and records the VOA Radiogram transmission on Saturdays, 1600-1630 UTC, currently on 17580 kHz. His most recent video from June 25 showed less than 100% decoding of the text because of local noise and deep fades. Most weeks, however, the performance of the modes is satisfactory. Tim’s channel, K0RUSham, is a good place to go to see how VOA Radiogram works, and to provide audio for your own decoding. Don’t miss Tim’s comments typed in the Fldigi transmit pane.

Jakob Flierl in Germany also produced a YouTube video of the same VOA Radiogram broadcast, June 25, 1600-1630 UTC, 17580 kHz. Although the audio level was somewhat “hot,” you can see that Jakob’s decode was more successful than Tim’s. Germany is, after all, in the target zone for 17580 kHz, whereas Colorado is in the opposite direction. 

Another video during the past weekend was prepared by CLK3 in Annapolis, Maryland. This was from the broadcast Sunday (Saturday evening in the USA), 0230-0300 UTC, on 5745 kHz. This video is audio only, but it’s useful for decoding by anyone who was not able to get adequate reception of VOA Radiogram. The video description contains advice on how to decode the modes.

Finally, a video of very exotic reception was supplied by DFS2010 in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. It shows his reception of the VOA Radiogram broadcast Saturday at 1600-1630 UTC on 17580 kHz. Despite his location far from the North Carolina transmitter and far beyond the European target area, DFS2010 was able to decode some text and a fuzzy MFSK32 image of Pluto.
