[TMRA] VOA RADIOGRAM

[Steve Bellner]

Just a reminder for those who have been on the list and a heads up for 
our new subscribers.

Voice of America has been transmitting NBEMS/FLDIGI on their worldwide 
shortwave broadcasts.

Anyone with a shortwave receiver and the free NBEMS/FLDIGI software can 
receive the broadcasts, conditions permitting, of course.

This is also a good way for folks to test the NBEMS Android apps that 
can run on a smartphone or tablet. Again, the apps are free.

Here's a forward from Kim, the VOA Radiogram Producer

Hello friends,

As your reports from last weekend indicate, mid-winter (in the northern
hemisphere) reception can be challenging, especially in Europe during our
Sunday 1930-2000 UTC broadcast on 15670. On the other hand, this time year
provides an opportunity for some European listeners to receive and decode
the Saturday 0930-1000 transmission on 5865 kHz.

This weekend will be another all-MFSK32 show, with plenty of images, the
last one holiday related and from my neighborhood in northern Virginia.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 142, 19-20 December 2015,
all in MFSK32:

1:31 Program preview
2:46 Gamma rays detected from across universe*
9:10 IS launches radio in eastern Afghanistan*
12:56 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China*
20:44 SSTV from the International Space Station*
24:29 Closing announcements*
* with image

Please send reception reports to radiogram at voanews.com

VOA Radiogram transmission schedule
(all days and times UTC):
Sat 0930-1000 5865 kHz
Sat 1600-1630 17580 kHz
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz
All via the Edward R. Murrow transmitting station in North Carolina.

The Mighty KBC will broadcast a minute of MFSK32 Sunday at 0158 UTC 
(Saturday
8:58 pm EST) on 7395 kHz, via Germany. This new 0158 transmission time
coincides with the beginning of the Radio Romania International interval
signal for their French broadcast starting at 0200 UTC. This co-channel
situation is a good test for the MFSK32. The entire KBC broadcast is 
Saturday
2300 to Sunday 0200 UTC on 7395 kHz. Reports for this KBC reception to Eric:
themightykbc at gmail.com

Thank you for your reception reports. I'm now compiling the MFSK image
gallery from program 132 (17-18 October) and will be sending emails over
the weekend.
