Among the highlights from last weekend, reception by Capt. Jawahar in India (Goa), Saturday 1600-1630 UTC, 17580 kHz (top), and by Richard in Hawaii, Sunday, 1930-2000 UTC, 15670 kHz. Text was near-100% for each.

We had an amazing response to last weekend’s program, thanks in part to mostly favorable propagation. Two example are above.

There was one glitch: Music was heard instead of VOA Radiogram Sunday at 2330-2400 UTC via WRMI Florida, 11580 kHz. This was due to an error in the automation system.

This weekend is the usual mix of MFSK32 and MFSK16, with five MFSK32 images.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 215, 13-14 May 2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted:

  1:32  Program preview

  2:39  Senators support U.S. human rights role*

  8:50  China strengthens Internet controls*

14:07  FCC website attacked*

19:01  MFSK16: NSS call letters reactivated this weekend
