Hello friends
Here in the Washington DC area, we have been experiencing a few days or weather that is not too hot and not too humid -- very unusual for this time of year. As I type this, I can feel the humidity returning through my open window. The air conditioner will be needed in the next few days.
Many Shortwave Radiogram listeners enjoy decoding slow scan television (SSTV) images -- similar to our MFSK images -- from the International Space Station. SSTV transmissions from the ISS are planned for August 6, 1050 to 1910 UTC, and August 7, 0950-1555 UTC. The frequency is 145.8 MHz, narrow band FM (NFM). I use this map to determine when the ISS will be near my location. When you decode SSTV from the ISS, it's over a distance usually much less than the distance you received and decode Shortwave Radiogram on HF.
Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 215) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC) and Ralf in Germany (Sunday 2330 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 216, 5-8 August 2021, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:44 MFSK32: Program preview
2:49 Steam collector captures water for reuse in power plants*
8:04 MFSK64: Apollo 11 ascent stage may still orbit the Moon*
12:51 This week's images*
28:27 MFSK32: Closing announcements
* with image(s) -- 1 x MFSK32 and 10 x MFSK64 for program 216

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 1130 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, Wednesdays 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB.
Thanks for your reception reports!
