YouTube videos of VOA Radiogram, 17-18 August 2013: English, Spanish, Chinese.


Dezider, OM5NA, in Slovakia, produced this YouTube video showing the first VOA Radiogram experiment with Chinese text. It was 18 August 2013 during the 1930-2000 UTC broadcast on 15670 kHz, transmitted from North Carolina. An MFSK32 image of the VOA Chinese logo is first, followed by the Chinese text:

Timothy, K0RUS, in Colorado, recorded the same 5745 kHz broadcast, from the VOA Spanish news story to the end. In his video, the Chinese characters appeared as blocks, but the characters appeared correctly for me decoding from Timothy’s audio. If you want to try this at home, be sure to use the UTF-8 character set:
