Some of you might have heard about the SW Radiogram program that my friend Dr. Kim Andrew Elliott KD9XB runs. It's a weekly show broadcast on (currently) 2 stations, from 3 programs at various times. If you are a newcomer and would like to try your hand at this, we now have a wiki article that can help you …
Note that you don't even need a HF radio - you can use an online radio to do it, but you will need some software for your PC. There is also TIVAR which can decode these broadcasts on an Android device. Currently the 2 modes being used are MFSK32 and 64. While FLDigi is the software of choice, Ham Radio Deluxe and MultiPSK will both do the job - and the article above has examples of each in action. A couple of the multi-kilobuck packages can do it too, but you certainly don't need them to decode these broadcasts.
There are dedicated Facebook and Twitter pages devoted to the SW Radiogram broadcasts with further examples of the decoding.
