VOA Radiogram for the weekend of 21-22 Sept 2013- MFSK - Greek -

                                                     

Il programma  numero 27 di VOA Radiogram  di questa fine settimana ( 21-22 settembre 2013) sarà  prodotto utilizzando Fldigi  3.21.76AB . 
Per ottenere i migliori risultati,utilizzare questa versione, disponibile da www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/v3.21

Un miglioramento è stato fatto con la nuova versione 3.21.76AB  per ricevere le immagini in MFSK64 e MFSK128.  Se le  immagini in  MFSK64 e MFSK128  appariranno ancora inclinate provate a eseguire la  calibrazione del codec, uno di questi metodi è descritto qui: www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp-3.21/DigiWWV.html  .

Il nostro alfabeto non latino della settimana è il greco. Sarà necessario come al solito i caratteri   UTF - 8   per alcuni dei segni di punteggiatura nelle voci inglesi  (Per i caratteri UTF-8.  In Fldigi, Configurazione > Colori & Font )

Il programma di questo fine settimana include un test in inglese con VOA Notizie in formato Flmsg . Quando tutto il testo viene ricevuto , si presenta come una nuova pagina web sul vostro browser, per il salvataggio o l'inoltro . 

(Per Flmsg  in Fldigi : Configure > Misc > NBEMS -- Under Reception of flmsg files, check both boxes, and under that indicate where your Flmsg.exe file is located.  Salva e Chiudi.

This weekend's VOA Radiogram (number 27, 21-22 September 2013)

 is produced using Fldigi 3.21.76AB. For best results, use this version, available from www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/v3.21/

One improvement in 3.21.76AB is that it can send images in MFSK64 and MFSK128. Previously, MFSK32 was the fastest MFSK mode for sending images without the pictures appearing skewed (off center). Images do not transmit more quickly in MFSK64 and MFSK128, but they do have higher resolution.

If your decoded MFSK64 and MFSK128 images are still slanted or skewed, calibration of the receive codec might be helpful. One such method for doing this is described here:  www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp-3.21/DigiWWV.html.

Our non-Latin alphabet of the week is Greek. You will need the UTF-8 character set for the Greek and for some of the punctuation in the English items. I forgot to change some of the typographic apostrophes ’ to typewriter apostrophes ' , so they will not display correctly if you do not have the UTF-8 character set. In Fldigi, that adjustment is made in Configure > Colors & Fonts.

This weekend's program includes an English VOA News item in Flmsg format. When all the text is received, the story will render, or pop up, as a new web page on your browser, suitable for saving or forwarding. To make Flmsg work with Fldigi (both can be downloaded from w1hkj.com), in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS -- Under Reception of flmsg files, check both boxes, and under that indicate where your Flmsg.exe file is located. 

Much of the show this weekend is in the MFSK64 mode, which might be a bit optimistic if reception conditions are less than ideal.

Here is the lineup of modes for VOA Radiogram, 21-22 September 2013:

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com

Screenshots and audio samples are appreciated, especially audio of difficult reception that nevertheless results in a successful decode of the text modes.

Reception on inexpensive shortwave portable radios is helpful, but so is reception on more sophisticated communications receivers, amateur transceivers, and SDR receivers.

I am now studying your reports from the weekend of 14-15 September and will be responding in the next couple of days.
