TIAMS - This Is A Music Show - Comb Stereo & Mono ISB shortwave recordings

TIAMS programs contain playlist data and a related image in MFSK64 format. MFSK64 can be decoded using FLdigi (PC) or Tivar (Android).

The programs also contain "waterfall images" at the start and end, mostly containing text. These images are displayed using a spectrum display, as found in some sound editors or SDR receivers.

For optimum data decoding from these recordings, program audio needs to be combined to mono to cancel the Comb Stereo filtering.

AZ = Arizona (Mitch)
GA = Georgia
IN = Indiana
IL = Illinois
LA = Louisiana
MO = Missouri
MS = Mississippi
NC = North Carolina

RNEI - Radio Northern Europe International - Shortwave recordings

RNEI broadcasts contain playlist data at ~27 minutes and ~58 minutes.
The data at 27 minutes can be decoded using FLdigi (PC), or Tivar (Android).
The data at the end of the program is in HTML format (view in a web browser), and can only be decoded using EasyDRF.

For optimum MFSK data decoding from these recordings, program audio needs to be combined to mono to cancel the Comb Stereo filtering.

RNEI programs dated before November 2021 may require the old version of EasyDRF (Oct 2021) to correctly decode.
