Hello friends
Our Russian text experiment last weekend was successful, with the MFSK32 decoding 100% via an SDR in Russia despite the distance from our WINB and WRMI transmitters.
This weekend, we will try another language: Turkish. Turkey's decision to block the Turkish-language online output of Voice of America and Deutsche Welle has been in the news. This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that shortwave can be a workaround for text when the internet is disrupted. Modern Turkish uses a Latin-script alphabet, with a few diacritical marks.
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 261) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). 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 262, 7-12 July 2022, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:34 MFSK32: Program preview
2:41 MFSK32: Turkish text from Deutsche Welle
6:57 MFSK64: Turkey Blocks Access to VOA, DW online content*
13:13 MFSK64: This week's images*
27:37 MFSK32: Closing announcements
