  • During the weekend of May 18-19, VOA Radiogram was overrun by cicadas

    With the 17-year cicadas making their appearance in the eastern United States, VOA Radiogram for the weekend of May 18 and 19 included a picture of a cicada (actually a 13-year cicada from 2011). The picture was transmitted using three modes: SSTV Scottie DX, SSTV P5, and MFSK32.

    Lorenzo in Italy sent these images from his reception on 17860 kHz: Scottie DX, P5, MFSK32:

    Rafael in Colombia on 5745 kHz:

    After looking at many, many screenshots, my conclusion is that MFSK32 provided the clearer images than the SSTV modes. Most listeners agreed.
