Hen and the two pumpkins she is demolishing, 0826 UTC, 5850 kHz from WRMI Florida, received 1) here in northern Virginia and 2) via SDR in Hawaii. MFSK32 and MFSK64 text decoded 100% via both receivers.

During the 0030-0100 UTC broadcast, 5050 kHz from WRMI Florida, 8 of 13 images decoded here in northern Virginia, including the example from the Signal light festival in Prague. Also 100% MFSK32 text. The MFSK64 text had several errors.

It's Saturday night and almost time for Mighty KBC's Dave & Eric to rock shortwave radio. ♫ Tune in 8:00-10:00 PM EDT (UTC: Sunday 0000-0200) on 5950 kHz. In Europe they're on MW 891 & 1008 kHz. Eric's program repeats on 9455 kHz, 0300-0400 UTC. ♫ A Birthday Radiogram in MFSK64 at 0130 UTC.

Results from the 0230-0300 UTC broadcast, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania, received via SDRs in 1) Switzerland and 2) Arkansas. The slant in the Arkansas images was corrected by changing the Rx ppm from the usual -75 ppm I use for KiwiSDRs to +40 ppm.

During the Thursday 2330-2400 UTC broadcast, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania, via SDR in Finland, the signal was weak and the opening voice announcements unintelligible. But the MFSK32 text decoded 99%, and five images decoded in a visually interesting manner.

Unusual conditions for tonight's @swradiogram.bsky.social. I had a weirdly low noise floor, so while my compromised loop position isn't ideal, reception was still pretty decent and there were no text errors anywhere. Weird how that one seagull pic looks perfect while none of the other do, though.

Fridays, The Mighty KBC's "The Giant Jukebox" with host Eric van Willegen rocks the stratosphere some great music! Tune in 1100-1200 UTC on 15770 kHz from WRMI Florida. A Birthday Radiogram in MFSK64 at ~1130 UTC.
