  • On 17860 kHz, no joy with EasyPal, with a few exceptions…

    A geomagnetic storm resulted in challenging reception conditions during the Saturday 1600 UTC broadcast of VOA Radiogram on 17860 kHz. Because of this, almost everyone failed to received the EasyPal images, whereas in the MFSK32 image mode, something could be seen.

    Three listeners did succeed in receiving EasyPal images.  MIchel in the southwest of France, geomagnetic storm notwithstanding, reported good reception and successful EasyPal decodes. This is his image of the colliding galaxies:

    His decode of the MFSK32 version of the colliding galaxies was also very good:

    Michel had similar success with the Soyuz capsule being transported to its launch site:

    And with the VOA News story as an EasyPal text file:

    Elsewhere in Europe, Harald in Thuringia, Germany had this successful EasyPal decode of the colliding galaxies:

    Compared to his MFSK32 decode:
