VOA Radiogram Weekend Schedule

Hello friends,

A reminder that this weekend's VOA Radiogram will be mostly Olivia 64-2000. If reception conditions are poor (as they were in Europe on 15670 kHz last weekend), this could be interesting, because the Olivia 64-2000 might be able to overcome the difficult reception. If reception is good, it could be boring, because Olivia 64-2000 is very slow: about 25 words per minute.

Program 146, 16-17 January 2016 (modes as noted)
  1:34  MFSK32: Program preview
  2:51  Olivia 64-2000: Blog post from Antarctica
23:36  MFSK32: Image from Antarctica
26:32  Closing announcements

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com .
