Just kidding Jim, I exercised several of the WSJT modes some time back
and was amazed at the copy on signals I simply couldn't hear [although
generally, most were strong enough to hear]. With the new synth, I even
got up in the middle of the night to see if I could hear the signals
WSPR was decoding on 474 Kcs, but never heard a peep. The constrained
QSO format of JT65/JT9 and the time it took just wasn't attractive for
me. To each his own.
