For listeners in Europe, the summer time change means that the VOA Radiogram broadcasts on Sunday, 26 March, will be one hour later by local time.  The following weekend, 1-2 April, all of the broadcasts will be one hour later than during winter, because VOA Radiogram stays at the same UTC times throughout the year.

VOA Radiogram this weekend will be all MFSK32.  It will also include eight MFSK32 images and less text than usual. The text will be used to introduce links to VOA News science-related videos.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 208, 25-26 March 2017, all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz …
