VOA Radiogram, 28-29 December 2013, might be audible in Asia

This weekend, 28-29 December, begins our new broadcast Saturday at 0930-1000 UTC on 5745 kHz. The time is inconveniently early for listeners in the Americas, but it might be audible and decodable in the Asia-Pacific region and in northern Europe. Expecting that reception conditions might be marginal in these parts of the world, the program will include a VOA News item in the robust MFSK16 mode.

Because of the addition of the new transmission had to be budget-neutral, the VOA Radiogram broadcast Sunday at 1300-1330 UTC on 6095 kHz is, unfortunately, discontinued.

Here is the lineup for program 39 of VOA Radiogram, 28-29 December 2013:

1.   1:38  MFSK16: Program preview
2.   3:30  MFSK16: Supercomputer for bioresearch
3.   8:08  MFSK32: ESA Gaia satellite, with image
4. 13:58  MFSK32: Scientists predicted earthquake
5. 21:01  MFSK64/Flmsg: Novice farmers, followed by image
6. 25:48  MFSK32: Closing announcements

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com

If you tried to listen to the new Saturday 0930 UTC transmission of VOA Radiogram in 5745 kHz, thanks!
Obviously there were problems at the transmitter site.  The transmitter was off and on during the half hour, and only a few brief bits of program audio were heard until about 0953, when everything finally operated normally.

I did hear the successful part via the Netherlands SDR receiver, and so did Giuliano in Italy.

Let's hope for better luck next weekend.

Meanwhile, we still have three transmissions this weekend:

Sat 1600-1630 17860 kHz
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
