Hello friends,

There will be some interesting VOA News items, including amateur radio from the permanently berthed ship Queen Mary, and legislation that could result in major changes to the Voice of America and the rest of U.S. international broadcasting.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 57, 3-4 May 2014 (all in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz):

1:30  Program preview
