[A-DX] Fwd: Shortwave Radiogram, 7-10 September 2018

[Roger]

Hello friends,
Fortunately, there were no technical mishaps last weekend. And 
propagation was, for the most part, good. The Friday 2030-2100 UTC 
transmission on 7780 kHz is beginning to be audible in Europe as the 
northern hemisphere days become shorter. (And speaking of the days 
getting shorter, The Mighty KBC's transmission to North America changes 
to 5960 kHz this Sunday at 0000-0200 UTC; a minute of MFSK64 is at 0130 
UTC.)
I was happy to include a news item in *German*, because of the many 
Shortwave Radiogram listeners and friends in Germany. There will be more 
German this weekend, about the Radio Taiwan International German service 
test transmissions to Europe via Space Line in Bulgaria. The first one 
is today (Friday) at 1900-1930 UTC on 5900 kHz.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 64, 7 to 10 
September 2018, in MFSK modes as noted:

Diesmal gab es ein "technical mishap" via WRMI am Freitag.   Dadurch war 
die gestrige Sendung ab 1600z via 9400 kHz die Erstsendung.
Mittlerweile haben sich auf der Kurzwelle deutliche Herbstbedingungen 
eingestellt. Dadurch vergrößert sich die tote Zone der 9400 kHz deutlich.
Selbst für Rom zeigte das gestrige Ionogram bei 9.2 MHz zu diesem 
Zeitpunkt einen F2-Skip erst jenseits 1500 km - schlecht für Hörer in 
Österreich, Süddeutschland oder Italien.

This time there was a "technical mishap" via WRMI on Friday. As a 
result, yesterday's broadcast from 1600z via 9400 kHz was the first 
broadcast.
In the meantime, clear autumn conditions have set in on the shortwave. 
This significantly increases the dead zone of the 9400 kHz.
Even for Rome showed the yesterday's ionogram at 9.2 MHz at this time an 
F2-Skip beyond 1500 km - bad for listeners in Austria, southern Germany 
or Italy.

Testsendungen via 5900 kHz, auch am kommenden Wochenende:
