[Ham-Mac] What are WSJT modes?

[N1OFZ]

 From the WSJT page at: http://pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT/

"WSJT is a computer program for VHF/UHF communication using state of  
the art digital techniques.  It can decode fraction-of-a-second  
signals reflected from ionized meteor trails, as well as steady  
signals more than 10 dB weaker than those required for conventional  
CW.  One of its operating modes is particularly well optimized for  
amateur EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) communications.  WSJT is freely  
available to radio amateurs for non-commercial purposes."

WSJT is a software package that supports five principal operating modes:
      FSK441:  for meteor scatter
     JT65: for EME and extreme troposcatter
     JT6M: for meteor scatter (optimized for 50 MHz)
     EME Echo: for measuring your own echoes from the Moon
     CW: for EME QSOs using 15 WPM Morse code
