Hello friends
In Europe and North America, the moving forward of clocks for summer time is now complete. Check the schedule below, and be sure your conversions from UTC to local time are correct.
This weekend's Shortwave Radiogram includes two images of the northern lights. Recent solar activity has resulted in auroral displays farther south than usual, including Virginia and Texas. Of course, the solar activity also affects shortwave propagation, resulting in some short-term blackouts and longer-term enhancements. The higher shortwave frequencies perform better (so I miss the 17870 kHz used for VOA Radiogram from North Carolina to Europe).
A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 297) 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 298, 30 March-3 April 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:
1:38 MFSK32: Program preview
2:45 MFSK32: Liquid CO2 test ship launched in Japan*
7:05 MFSK64: Sky-high kites aim to tap unused wind power*
13:49 MFSK64: This week's images*
28:06 MFSK32: Closing announcements
