  • A solution to uneven line breaks

    I’ve noticed in the text “dumps” sent by many VOA Radiogram listeners that the line breaks are uneven. This happens when the received text is copied from Fldigi or other decoding software and pasted into a text editor or word processor.

    The problem was that I was pasting text with no line breaks into the Fldigi output window. The solution, suggested to me by Christopher, K6FIB, is to force line breaks at the traditional (from the days of punched cards) 80 characters per line:

    I will try to remember to use line breaks from now on. If decoding of digital text via shortwave on mobile devices becomes common, we might  have to adopt a smaller number of characters per line.
