Hello friends
An excellent video describing Shortwave Radiogram is now available at the Tech Minds YouTube account. Thank you Tech Minds!
If you tune in the WINB broadcasts, at least the first one Friday at 0030 UTC, you will see it starts with the wrong program number. That 241 should be 242. Otherwise the broadcast is program 242. This might be fixed in time for the second WINB transmission, Saturday 0330. And the number will correct for the WRMI broadcasts. Thanks to Roger in Germany for spotting the error.
With Ukraine in the news, our MFSK32 news item will be in Ukrainian, from the VOA Ukrainian Service. For correct display of the Cyrillic text, the UTF-8 character set will be required. However, UTF-8 is default in Fldigi, TIVAR and AndFlmsg, so most of you should have no problem seeing the Ukrainian text print out.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 241, Friday 1300 UTC) is provided by Scott in Ontario. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 242, 4-6 February 2022, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:40 MFSK32: Program preview
3:02 MFSK32: VOA Ukrainian story on Intel US factory (excerpt)
9:06 MFSK64: Newly discovered asteroid shares Earth's orbit
12:38 MFSK64: This week's images
27:44 MFSK32: Closing announcements

New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1230 UTC on 3583 kHz USB. Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32. Messages generally use the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America, feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram, and I will let them know you are tuned in. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Thursdays 0000 UTC (Wednesdays 7 pm EST) on 3536 kHz USB.
Thanks for your reception reports!
