> Is JT9 rockin' the lower bands -  160, 80 and 40???

Can't answer that, but JT9g is going strong on 10 meters (28.148).  It's a high
speed version of JT9 used on both meteor scatter and Es.  A slightly higher
bandwidth version, JT9h, is used on 6 meters, and is quite popular (50.280).
Currently, there's lots of activity daily, but we're needing to spread the word
to DX folks to tune up that high.

Transmission lengths available are 5 second, 10 second, 15 seconds, and 30
seconds.  When the band is up, a full exchange can be done using 5 second tx/rx
cycles in less than one minute.  Extending to 15 second cycles takes
appropriately longer.  Semi automatic completion is used most of the time.
Typically, a full QSO will be done before you can finish entering it in the log!
:)  15 second exchanges are default, but can be extended when sigs are quite
weak.
