@swradiogram.bsky.social Thought I've give it a try, catching the last broadcast of Program 433's vintage postcards from radio stations. WRMI on 7780 kHz, 0930-1000 UTC. Use KiwiSDR in northern New Zealand to catch these images...

@swradiogram.bsky.social Postcards from the past received in northern Florida, USA during the Wednesday broadcast on 15770 kHz, 1330-1400 UTC. Images 1-4...

@swradiogram.bsky.social Not the greatest reception of WRMI in northern Florida, USA last night, but they got 5850 kHz back on air in plenty of time for this broadcast. Cold weather knocked out power at their Okeechobee transmitter site.

@swradiogram.bsky.social All images received in northern Florida, USA during Sunday's 1530-1600 UTC broadcast on 9955 kHz. Strong signal here from WRMI with SDR# showing +60dB RF SNR. But during MFSK64 text mode FLdigi was only showing +4 dB SNR. Not many artifacts of WRMI audio processing showing.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Saturday, WRMI's signal on 9455 kHz started out very strong, +70dB SNR on SDR#, but fell off some producing images with sparkles and noise.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Images decoded in northern Florida, USA during the Thursday/Friday broadcast over WINB, 0030-0100 UTC, 9265 kHz. First group of images...

@swradiogram.bsky.social Decoded image results from Sunday's broadcast on 9955 kHz as received in northern Florida, USA. Good signal here from WRMI.

Kari Lake silenced all VOA broadcasts last March and recently brought back a token amount of people & programming in a few of the 48 languages, defying a federal judge’s order for restoration. And replacing balanced reporting with propaganda violates the Charter. (Public Law 94-350) #SaveVOA

@swradiogram.bsky.social Friday's Birthday Radiogram received using KiwiSDR in Melbourne, FL, located about 50mi NE of WRMI. More distant SDRs did not have a signal. No DX Headlines this week, Eric inserted a station ID in Olivia64-2k.

@swradiogram.bsky.social The first set of images decoded in northern Florida, USA from WINB during Friday's 0030-0100 UTC broadcast. <more>

@popshopradio.bsky.social I enjoyed listening to the New Year's World Tour program. I used the KiwiSDR in MA/CT for reception, but from the looks of it the signal up there was somewhat low.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Four of the eight images decoded in northern Florida, USA during Monday's 0800-0830 UTC broadcast on 5850 kHz.

@swradiogram.bsky.social A very high RF SNR receiving WRMI in northern Florida, USA gave me some very high quality image decodes! <more>

@swradiogram.bsky.social A fresh crop! Ah yes, it's really January 2, 2026 UTC-wise. Here are my decodes from WINB's Thursday evening broadcast, 0030-0100 UTC on 9265 kHz. I missed the first image by tuning in late. Images 4, 3, 2, and 1...

Too cheap to buy a dedicated HD Radio to listen to a local station's classical music channel on my home hi-fi stereo. So... I repurposed a Raspberry Pi 4b as a Volumio Internet streaming server. It may be old hat to lots of folks here. It's an amazing piece of software! volumio.com/get-started/ HNY!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Some images from my reception in northern Florida of Saturday's 2300z broadcast on 9455 kHz. All images received and text decoded correctly.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Noisy images received in n. Florida and their solid-copy companions received with SDR in MA/CT from Wednesday's 1330-1400 UTC broadcast on 15770 kHz...

@swradiogram.bsky.social Just this one from my unattended reception in northern Florida, USA of the 5850 kHz broadcast. FLDigi was left in MFSK64, no RxID with SDR# and Airspy HF+ tuned. WRMI's signal was weak even at 9p Sunday night. I guess the band never picked up.

@popshopradio.bsky.social Used SDR up north to record last night's broadcast. Listening to it now and lovin' it! WRMI's signal on 5950 kHz here in n. FL had too much noise to enjoy the music. From the looks of the image signal was dropping up there by Radiogram time.

@swradiogram.bsky.social No flakey reception at all ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄ Solid as a rock! But, I did use a KiwiSDR in MA/CT to get these illuminating results from Saturday's 2300-2330 UTC broadcast on 9455 kHz. ❄️❄️❄️= more...

@swradiogram.bsky.social My "Holiday Spectacular" of images from the Saturday (UTC) broadcast over WINB as received in northern Florida, USA. The snowball spacers used between segments caught my eye. When I hovered over one FLDigi went 'poof' and closed abruptly. I'll watch out for one next time.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Thursday evening's digital Festival of Lights decoded in northern Florida, USA.

@swradiogram.bsky.social 'Snow' comes to northern Florida, USA with Monday's 0800-0830 UTC broadcast in the form of poor propagation between me and WRMI in Okeechobee. Images recovered from the backup recording. MFSK64 text looked pretty good; maybe 98% accurate.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Switched to using KiwiSDR in MA/CT to record last night's broadcast. I'm glad I did! Great hearing "Popsicle Toes," "Evil Ways," Talking Heads!! Adding a photo of Les & Mary at work I spotted on FB. WRMI, a little reverb helps music/voice, but it does not help data images!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Saturday's 2300-2330 UTC broadcast not very peppy here in northern Florida with local sunset happening around the start of the broadcast. Missed the first two RxIDs and had to manually switch modes. Text decoding appeared to be very good.

@swradiogram.bsky.social What's this, snowy reception in northern Florida??? NOT!!! I saw lots of sandhill cranes flying overhead yesterday on their way south. That's the first sign winter is truly on its way. The next sign is seeing snowy images in Shortwave Radio programs. Image 1 of 9 <more>

@swradiogram.bsky.social Looks like 5850 kHz picked up quite a bit overnight here in northern Florida, USA. Setting things up before going to bed, the band was looking pretty peak-ed. A pleasant surprise to see it come back to life! Happy Monday!

@popshopradio.bsky.social Good Morning! Reception here in n. Florida was mostly noise. No images decoded but as you can see some text squeaked through. Interesting playlist entry: Sounds Orchestral "Cast Your To the skud "

@swradiogram.bsky.social Signal from WRMI dropped off some during the broadcast here in n. Florida, USA. Screen grab of SDR# captured during closing text.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Call me a lunatic; I got howlingly good reception here in northern Florida, USA during Friday's WINB broadcast on 9265 kHz from 0030-0100 UTC.

@popshopradio.bsky.social Just like me, the 49+ meter band went to bed early last night. I was able to decode the image and text using a backup recording. I like the Neil Young quote about "After the Goldrush" that I got: "'I izro aóe a n P[ ¶t:F t¨K 🇬🇧 : sw?" I'll drink to that!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Great reception last night during WINB's broadcast on 9265 kHz, 0330-0400 UTC, in northern Florida, USA. Using a W6LVP active loop with Airspy HF+ and SDR#.

@swradiogram.bsky.social No turkeys in this broadcast, all very clean, well saturated images. They are from Friday's 0030-0100 UTC broadcast on 9265 kHz and received in northern Florida, USA.

@popshopradio.bsky.social Enjoyed this week's show! "White Rabbit" still gives me goosebumps. Missed RxID to MFSK64 at broadcast, but it worked using my recording of the 5950 kHz. broadcast. Caught the change to Olivia last night; decoded without error. Great hearing Poppie on the show this week!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Great overnight reception in northern Florida, USA with the 'red-eye edition' broadcast over WRMI, 0800-0830 UTC on 5850 kHz. Working our way backward through the images, here are the last four...

@swradiogram.bsky.social First and last two images from Saturday's 2300 broadcast on 9455 kHz received in northern Florida, USA. WRMI's signal was lower than usual here tonight. Text decoding in both modes was 100%.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Great results in northern Florida, USA from the 0330z broadcast over WINB during the early hours of Saturday! Using the doublet antenna this time. The MLA-30+ loop is used for tracking HFDL air traffic. Here's what it's capturing at 1300z on the 8 MHz band.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Jesse Colin Young this week's Birthday Radiogram captured with SDR in French Alps Friday during Mighty KBC's "Giant Jukebox" music show. KBC produced two absolutely great promotional songs. One starts the show off. A "Loyal Listener" tribute is played near the end of hour.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Images from the 'early' Friday (UTC) broadcast over WINB as received in northern Florida, USA. 0030-0100 UTC on 9265 kHz. Images 1-3...

@swradiogram.bsky.social The first four images decoded during Wednesday's broadcast, 15770 kHz, 1330 UTC, in northern Florida, USA. Backscatter and some multipath mixed in didn't stop reception of most of the images...

@swradiogram.bsky.social Great reception of multipath echo on 15770 kHz here in northern Florida, USA. Should make for interesting & challenging decoding during Shortwave Radiogram soon at 1330 UTC!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Four fuzzies from Florida. Some of the decoded images from last night's broadcast on 5850 kHz.

@popshopradio.bsky.social OK, you got me...I had to go look to make sure it wasn't just WRMI/atmospheric effects that caused the white outline of the cowgirl image. All told, I got a great decode of the image! Enjoyed listening to the music, too! All the best!

@swradiogram.bsky.social A brief glimpse at images decoded in northern Florida, USA during Sunday's broadcast on 9955 kHz at 1530-1600 UTC. All images received intact. Text in both modes was decoded 100%.

@swradiogram.bsky.social A good signal through most of the image segment of Saturday's broadcast on 9455 kHz at 2300 UTC here in northern Florida, USA. By the end of the program, around 2327 UTC, WRMI's signal had tapered off a bit.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Very good looking results in northern Florida, USA from the 0330 UTC broadcast on 9265 kHz. Starting out with images 1 to 4...

@swradiogram.bsky.social This week's Birthday Radiogram is Petula Clark. I decoded these MFSK64 images Friday during Eric's broadcast on 15770 kHz. The good one is from KiwiSDR in French Alps. The noisy one is my over the air version.
