The Mighty KBC will test to the USA on Sunday 11 November 2012 00.00 –
\n02.00 UTC on 9450 kHz!<\/p>\n

Please join the Mighty KBC for a test of a digital text sent via a
\nshortwave broadcast transmitter. This will take place during the next
\ntransmission to North America, Sunday 0000-0200 UTC, at approximately
\n0130 and just before the end of the broadcast at 0200.<\/p>\n

All you need is a basic shortwave receiver (no SSB mode is necessary),
\nand a basic personal computer. Using a patch cord, you will feed the
\naudio out of the earphone jack (or line out) of your radio into the
\nmicrophone jack of your PC. If you don’t have a patch cord, you can
\ntry placing the speaker of your radio close to the built-in microphone
\nof a laptop PC.<\/p>\n

You will also need software. There are several freeware or shareware
\nprograms used by the amateur radio community that decode digital text
\nmodes. One is FLDIGI, available from http:\/\/www.w1hkj.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n

After installing FLDIGI, pull down the Configure menu, then click
\nSound Card, and select the soundcard your PC is using.<\/p>\n

You might also have to adjust your audio settings. In Windows 7, left
\nclick twice on the speaker icon in the lower right of PC display, then
\nclick Options, then click Properties, then click Recording, then click
\nthe input that works. Other operating systems will have different
\nprocedures. A good way to test your audio settings is to try to decode
\nthe radio amateurs using the PSK31 mode on 14070 kHz.<\/p>\n

For the test digital text transmissions on Sunday, The Mighty KBC will
\nbe using the QPSK125 mode. On your software, your cursor should be
\ncentered on 1500 Hertz, where you will see the “waterfall” of the
\nQPSK125 signal. You can decode the transmission while you receive it,
\nor record the transmission and decode from the recording. The latter
\nwill give you more opportunities to perfect the technique.<\/p>\n

The test to be transmitted will be a formatted html file. Copy it from
\n to (and including) <\/html>, and paste it to a text editor (such
\nas Notepad in Windows). Save the file, using any file name, with the
\nsuffix .htm or .html. Then open the file in any web browser. If all
\ngoes well, this might be the first time you receive a shortwave radio
\nbroadcast in color!<\/p>\n

In the future, an app will be developed to make this process simpler!<\/p>\n
