Hello friends,

There is a Shortwave Radiogram transmission schedule change this week. WRMI has found a customer (a radio program about amateur radio and shortwave) for its Sunday 0900 UTC slot on 7780 kHz. But Jeff White found a place for Shortwave Radiogram on 7780: Thursday 0930-1000 UTC. This change is included in the transmission schedule below.

I know that 0930 UTC is an inconvenient time for listeners in North America, but it might be worth unattended decoding: Leave radio and Fldigi on all night, and preferably also a recording device, in case an RSID does not automatically change modes.

This 0930 UTC transmission is almost always heard well in New Zealand. 

Solar storms disrupted reception of some transmissions of Shortwave Radiogram this past week. But at least the solar storms created some dramatic auroras, if you were lucky enough to get a view. One of our images this week shows northern lights visible as far south as Albemarle County, Virginia.

This week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 426) could be titled "The Bus Show," because both text news items are about city buses: electric buses in Montreal and free buses in Kansas City. The Montreal story is followed by an MFSK32 images of one of their buses.

Fldigi on a Mac? I received an email from an aspiring Shortwave Radiogram listener/decoder who needs help installing Fldigi on a Mac PC. If you have Mac experience, contact me at radiogram@verizon.net and I'll put you in touch with him.

A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 424) is provided by Scott in Ontario[0] (Wednesday 1330 UTC) -- showing the negative effects of the solar storm on November 12. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK[1]. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany[2].

Other resources: IQ recording etc provided by Aaron in Washington state[3] (you will see his three dogs this week) and the image archive supplied by John in California[4].

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 426, 14-20 November 2025, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:44  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:54  MFSK32: Electric buses cost effective even in winter
10:15  MFSK64: Kansas City free buses attracted new riders
14:15  MFSK64: This week's images
27:51  MFSK32: Closing announcements
