Newsy VOA Radiogram for December 27-28

From Kim Andrew Elliott:

Hello friends,

This weekend's VOA Radiogram includes VOA News story by Doug Bernard about the Internet in Cuba. It's longer that most of our items: about 12 minutes in MFSK32. I think it's all interesting, so I couldn't bring myself to cut any of it. I considered transmitting it in MFSK64, but given poor mid-winter propagation conditions in the northern hemisphere, I decided it best to stay with our reliable MFSK32 mode.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 91, 27-28 December 2014, all in MFSK32 except where indicated:

 1:38  Program preview
 2:38  Mobile computer lab in Nairobi*
 8:04  US wants open Internet in Cuba*
21:50  Launch of Russia's new Angara rocket*
26:18  Closing announcements*
28:22  Bonus mode: MFSK16

*with image
