  • Radio Australia MFSK text copied 100% in Greece and France, despite terrible signal

    Merkouris in Thessaloniki, Greece, received the Radio Australia MFSK test transmission 19 May 2013 at 0830-0835 UTC on 11945 kHz. Because Greece is well outside the Pacific target area, the signal quality was very poor (listen here), which was very good for testing digital text modes. 

    The voice content, barely audible after the MFSK ended, is not intelligible. But MFSK16 was copied 100%:

    And MFSK32 about 97%:

    The MFSK32 Radio Australia logo was a bit fuzzy, though:

    This audio of RA recorded in France by Marcel, 19-05-13, 0830 UTC on 11945 kHz, was even worse, because it included moderate interference. Decode of MFSK16 and MFSK32 (try it yourself) is still 100%.
