Because of the US government shutdown, VOA Radiogram 28, first broadcast September 28 and 29, was repeated the following two weekends.

I returned to work Thursday, giving me just enough time to produce a new program for this weekend, using Fldigi version 3.21.76AH.

Once again we will test the new ability to transmit images in the MFSK64 and MFSK128 modes. This will include the transmission of the same picture in MFSK16, 32, 64, and 128. Correct decoding MFSK64 and MFSK128 images will require one of the alpha versions of Fldigi, available from www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/v3.21/  The current version is 3.21.76AN, but I think any version back to 3.21.76AB will provide satisfactory results.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 29, 19-20 October 2013:

2:53  MFSK16: Program preview
7:22  MFSK16/32/64/128: Same image in each mode
3:38  MFSK32: SpaceX launch, with image
3:34  MFSK64: Vegetables resist radiation, with image
  :27  MFSK32: E-mail address
2:11  MFSK128: Affordable Internet, with logo
3:30  MFSK64/Flmsg*: News from kimandrewelliott.com
2:04  MFSK32: VOA Radiogram logo 632x56
  :38  MFSK32: Closing announcements

*Use Flmsg (also from w1hkj.com) with Fldigi. To make Flmsg work with Fldigi, in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS – Under Reception of flmsg files, check both boxes, and under that indicate where your Flmsg.exe file is located.

As usual, please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com  .  Audio samples and screenshots are also appreciated.
