VOA Radiogram, 10-11 December 2016: Bad news about shortwave, in MFSK32
This weekend, I am betting on adequate reception conditions, because all VOA Radiogram content will be in MFSK32 except for the transmission schedule in Olivia 64-2000 at the very end of the show. (For best Olivia 64-2000 performance, turn the Fldigi squelch [SQL] off.)
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 193, 10-11 December 2016, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz, except where noted:
1:49 Program preview
2:59 Cassini probe beams back images of Saturn’s atmosphere*
7:28 Kremlin doctrine for “managing” Internet*
14:38 Australia’s ABC to end shortwave broadcasts*
21:14 Closing announcements*
28:28 Olivia 64-2000: Transmission schedule
* with image
