This past week was one of those weeks that I had two big deadlines: preparing program 415 of Shortwave and writing my monthly column for the North American Shortwave Association (NASWA). Add to this various household tasks and my usual poor time management, and I was compelled to apply the broadcasting version of the parsimony principle: The text portion of program 415 will be most of my September NASWA column. In fact, if you decode it, you will read it before NASWA members do. (Past columns are available at kimandrewelliott.com.)

The column includes news and observations about 1) the US Agency for Global Media shortwave transmitting station near Greenville, North Carolina, 2) the attempt by Kari Lake to reassign the Voice of America director to Greenville, 3) some court victories by VOA employees in their attempt to reverse the shutdown of most of VOA, and 4) emotional scenes as VOA employees are called back to the headquarters building in Washington to clear their desks.

For more information about the actions of displaced VOA employees to restore VOA, see savevoa.com and its social media accounts. There will be a benefit concert for VOA employees in the Washington DC area on September 5.
   
In program 415, after my verbiage, you will be rewarded with ten MFSK64 images.

Roy in Texas emailed his decoded images, plus the portion of the text that included Chinese characters, received 21 August 2025, 2330-2400 UTC, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania …

On August 14, I received an interesting email from Barry, K3EUI, of the PA NBEMS io discussion group: “The fastest mode we find that works well on 2m FM is 8PSK1000F. It is lightning fast, but needs a good S/N  to work well.”

I used to experiment with digital modes on VHF and UHF FM carriers, so I wanted to try this out. I don’t know any local hams who use Fldigi modes on VHF/UHF, so, for the moment, I had to do this solo. I transmitted text on 146.58 FM simplex, 15 watts, using the yagi on my roof. The receiver was an old Radio Shack scanner, using its whip antenna, in my RF-unfriendly basement. Copy of the text, at 3300 wpm, was perfect. 

Now I need to find a local ham who wants to try this. It might have to be through a repeater, in which case I would need permission of the repeater owner. And the length of the test transmission would have to be limited to the repeater’s time-out.

On shortwave, we can only dream of such speeds. MFSK32 and MFSK64 still seem to be the most  suitable for AM carriers in a shortwave broadcast environment.

Jinling and I just returned from a quick trip to northern Indiana. Travel from Washington (Dulles) to South Bend “International” is much easier now thanks to nonstop flights by Breeze Airways and United Airlines (actually operated by Mesa Airlines).

The main purpose of the trip was to attend the 55th reunion of my high school class. Our class had 800 students, so I never did get to know (although I should have tried harder) most of my classmates. And at the reunion, I recognized very few familiar faces and names. But there were a couple of guys from the high school band. And a couple of guys from the amateur radio club. One of them let his ham license lapse, but he was busy as an emergency room physician. Those conversations made the event worthwhile. 

I also shared meals with the various relatives – nephews, cousins, etc – that I have left in northern Indiana. Also making the trip worthwhile.

Sporty Porcupine in Alabama provided this comparison of images received from the two WINB transmissions 7 and 9 August 2925 … 

Last week I wrote about impending demise of the tall pine tree in our back yard. It provides the height for my “inverted U” antenna, designed for 160 meters, but tunes up nicely on other bands, and is a great receiving antenna. It was my sad duty to pull down that antenna. I was sure the wire would be permanently entangled in the pine tree and a sweetgum tree that it also passes through. I disconnected the wire at the far end and started pulling. To my surprise, the wire exhibited only moderate resistance as it slid through the two trees. I wound the 14 AWG wire around an old cardboard cat scratching pad, for possible future use, because the great reception of that old antenna is now gone.

Gene, KJ4M, posted to X that he “Copied WINB 9265 kHz on the zBitx running flidigi locally on the rig, no external PC required!” Intrigued, I looked it up at HF Signals to learn that the zBitx is an “all-mode” QRP transceiver covering 3 to 30 MHz. “The zBitx comes bundled with Fldigi, FreeDV, QSSTV. Any RigCtrl compatible, Linux software will work with the zBitx.” If anyone else has a chance to try this transceiver, especially with Shortwave Radiogram, please let us know.

Sporty Porcupine in Alabama received these images 2 August 2025, 0230-0300 UTC, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania …

After days of extreme heat and humidity, which many of you also experienced, there was thunder and rain this afternoon, which brought down the temperature.  The window in my office/shack is now open, though there is some lingering humidity.

The improved weather will allow me, reluctantly, to pull down my best amateur radio antenna. It’s an “inverted U” involving 150 feet (46 M) of wire, and two radials. My wife insists that a tall pine tree in our back yard is unhealthy and must come down. This will deprive the inverted U of its apex.The new apex will probably have to be a tripod on a roof peak. 

Olivia success. During the past week, The Mighty KBC again included a station identification in Olivia 64-2000. I was able to find some examples of the Olivia 64-2000 successfully decoding in very poor reception. Two examples are here – one shortwave and one medium wave. You can decode from the audio. I will be adding a third example, from Finland on shortwave, probably tomorrow, August 1.

We return to normal schedule this week. The repeat broadcasts were due to a brief vacation. My wife Jinling and and I drove to the Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Our first stop was a nice lunch and visit with Fred, who tunes in and reports on just about every Shortwave Radiogram transmission. 

Our next destination was Luray, Virginia. After dinner, we were treated to an excellent thunderstorm, visible and audible from our hotel’s front porch, moving over a ridge. It was so excellent that it knocked out the electric power to the hotel. This was not too much of a problem, because I packed a flashlight. Power was restored later that night.

The next day we visited the famous Luray Caverns. This is a 1.25-mile (2 km) walk with views of amazing cave formations. The presentation inside the privately-owned Luray Caverns is well executed: The lighting matches the natural colors on the stalactites and stalagmites. They resisted the temptation to use multi-colored lighting and music. 

Jinling took this picture as we walked through the caverns ….

Luray Caverns also provided a means to escape the heat of the Shenandoah Valley, because the year-round temperature in the caverns is 54°F (12°C) – although the high humidity inside the caverns makes it feel more like 65°F (18°C). After the visit to Luray Caverns, we were able to escape the heat again by driving to the nearby Shenandoah National Park. It was cooler in the higher altitudes of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Olivia 64-2000. With no SSTV from Peter John this week on The Mighty KBC, there will be an Olivia 64-2000 “station ID” at 51 minutes into the Eric van Willegen hours. See this KBC schedule for times and frequencies. One of the transmissions is Sunday, July 27, 0151 UTC on 5950 kHz from WRMI Florida and on KBC's  891 kHz medium wave transmitter (100 watts) in the Netherlands. The University of Twente SDR in the Netherlands provides a good demonstration of the ability of the Olivia 64-2000 to decode even with barely audible signals. Set the mode manually and make sure Fligi’s squelch (SQL) is off.

Shortwave Radiogram program 409 will be broadcast 10-16 July 2025 and repeated 17-23 July 2023. This is because of summer activities, which tend to disrupt normal schedules.

And on the subject of disruptions during the summer, many of our hot and humid days have culminated in rather energetic thunderstorms. Just such a storm occurred 9 July, while I was encoding and recording the MFSK32 news item for program 409. Normally I enjoy a good, rollicking thunderstorm for its entertainment value. But this was a bit too entertaining. Lightning came close to the house. I was hoping that I could finish that recording before the lights went out. Then the lights went out, and even the UPS didn’t work.

But, then, after a few minutes, the power came back on. I recorded the MFSK32 Festival of Planets again, and the MFSK64 chocolate story, and finally the images. We have a show.

With the Voice of America no longer available, other broadcasters must Tell America’s Story. Our second (MFSK64) news item this is from Deutsche Welle: “Why US chocolate tastes weird to the rest of the world.” I think Hershey’s chocolate is OK, but if a European chocolate such as Cadbury or Lindt is on sale, I’ll buy that instead.

Steve in Georgia (USA) emailed these images from the Saturday 0230-0300 UTC broadcast, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania …

And I used an SDR in the Czech Republic for these results during the same broadcast, Saturday 0230-0300, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania …

Last week many of you and I tuned in to our first broadcast of the week, Thursday 2330-2400 UTC, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania, only to hear another program in its place. Emails to WINB were unanswered last week and this week. The Saturday 0230-0300 UTC broadcast on 9265 kHz was transmitted as as scheduled. But the Friday 2330-2400 UTC show often reaches into Europe, Australia and Latin America. If Shortwave Radiogram is transmitted on schedule at 2330 UTC, you will hear my cheer. 

Meanwhile, there is better news concerning WRMI transmissions. Jeff White at WRMI in Florida found an additional slot for Shortwave Radiogram Sunday, 0900-0930 UTC, 7780 kHz. This is often heard well in New Zealand and Australia, but also try it in the Americas and elsewhere.

Fred in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia received these images, 2 July 2025. 15770 kHz from WRMI Florida. MFSK32 and MFSK64 text decodes were 100% …

Thank you for your patience last week, when the preview email and web post were a couple of  days late. This was due to a 36-hour power failure here at the house, caused by a heavy thunderstorm on June 19. Amazingly, all of my amateur radio antennas survived.

We might get weather again today, as I write this, but I think it will be uploaded before any encore power failure occurs. Like many of  you, we are coming off of four days with temperatures at or near 100F/38C, so some relief would be pleasant.

This week’s show will include more bad news about the Voice of America and US international broadcasting. For plenty of information about these developments, visit #SaveVOA and its various social media outlets. And shop at their store.
