\"VOARadioGram\"<\/a>(Source: VOA Radiogram<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In this weekend\u2019s VOA Radiogram, one VOA News item will be in the MFSK22 mode (80 words per minute), a mode we have generally not used for complete VOA News stories.<\/p>\n

Another \u201cfeature\u201d in this weekend\u2019s program will be five seconds of silence whenever modes are changed. This might improve the performance of the RSID.<\/p>\n

The Flmsg-formatted VOA News story in this weekend\u2019s program is 9 minutes, 6 seconds long. That might seem unusually long, but it includes 4 minutes, 20 seconds for a VOA logo in SVG format as part of the html. This was created for us by Mark Hirst in the UK.<\/p>\n

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, 10-11 August 2013:<\/p>\n

2:30\u00a0 MFSK16: Program preview<\/p>\n

3:26\u00a0 MFSK22: VOA News re import of Apple products<\/p>\n
