Last Saturday at 0930 UTC, on 5745 kHz, using the University of Twente receiver in the Netherlands, I saw a faint carrier from the North Carolina transmitter. It’s probably too early in the season to decode from such a signal, but, if you are in Europe (especially northern Europe), check this broadcast as winter approaches. 

This weekend’s broadcast will be all MFSK32 except for one news item in Olivia 16-1000. If your reception condition results in errors with the MFSK32, the Olivia 16-1000 might have fewer errors.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 183, 1-2 October 2016, all in MFSK32 except where noted …

1:48  Program preview

3:04  Lyman-alpha blobs in distant space*

7:05  Email service delivers updates on asteroids*

9:32  Geysers on Jupiter’s moon Europa*

17:27  Olivia 16-1000: US states object to Internet move

23:03  VOA to Ethiopia jammed

24:35  Elliott Electronic Computer*

26:22  Closing announcements*
