  • The results so far


    Thanks to everyone who has sent reception reports, audio samples, screenshots, and other interesting materials. After the program on the weekend of April 13-14, featuring the Olivia modes, we heard from listeners in Austria, Belgium, Canada (BC and Ontario), Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Sweden, UK, and Ukraine, as well as from the US states of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
     
    The results, after five weekends of VOA Radiogram, indicate that, for use in analog amplitude modulated shortwave broadcasting, the PSK modes are good, the MT63 and Olivia modes very good, and the MFSK modes are excellent. MFSK has so far outperformed the other families of modes.


    QSL cards

    The process of producing and printing the QSL cars is moving along slowly. If you requested a QSL card, it will be sent eventually. Thanks for your patience.
