VOA Radiogram is a Voice of America program experimenting with digital text and images via shortwave broadcasting. It is produced and presented by Dr. Kim Andrew Elliott.
Despite some poor shortwave conditions during the weekend of 12-13 Aril 2014, three videos of reception and decoding of VOA Radiogram were provided by listeners, including one all the way from Japan.
This video from T.W. in Japan was from the broadcast Saturday at 0930-1000 on 5745 kHz. The decode was not perfect, but not bad considering the conditions and the huge distance from the North Carolina transmitter:

Nicolas in Colombia produced this video on his reception Sunday at 0230-0300 on 5745 kHz. Again, the decode is not perfect, but respectable given reception on an inexpensive Sony ICF-SW15 portable radio that, according to its specs, does not even tune down to the 5745 kHz transmission frequency:

Tim in Colorado received and decoded the same transmission, using amateur radio equipment:
