Mystery mode: VOA
Radiogram, for the weekend of 12-13 April 2014, will be all MFSK32 centered on
1500 Hz, but there will also be a mystery mode transmitted simultaneously at an
audio frequency of 2300 Hz. (The RSID will help unlock the mystery of the
mystery mode.)
You can decode both the MFSK32 and the other
mode by 1) running two instances of Fldigi, 2) running Fldigi and another
decoding software such as MultiPSK or DM780, or 3) recording the show and
decoding the mystery mode later.
The audio frequency of the mystery mode needs to
be tuned very precisely. It will probably be a few Hz above or below 2300 Hz.
The content is the VOA Radiogram email address, website URL, and schedule,
transmitted over and over, so you will have plenty of time to achieve a
successful decode.
One of the MFSK32 VOA news items will be in
Spanish. You will need the UTF-8 characters for the accented letters to display
correctly. Find the UTF-8 setting via Configure > Colors and
Fonts.
Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program
