[600MRG] MF JT9-2 report

[Roger Graves]

I ran the JT9-2 program last night and decoded most (50 or so) of the W0YSE (315 km away) beacon transmissions on 630m. 
Lowest s/n report was -25.
I made several test transmissions. All were decoded by W0YSE. I received no reports of other decodings.
The program ran all night w/o crashing. The night before it did crash after several hours.

Thanks Rik for your work in making this mode available to test.

73,
Roger
