Dex, sure ! And thanks for activating your beacon in Jason mode.
1035 miles are no small feat with 1W RF only. So congratulations
to both parties. This encourages further development.

About the USB/LSB and the 800Hz settings, asked by another
guy:
just specify as center frequency (default 800Hz) the frequency of
the tone that your radio produces when tuned to a Jason signal.
This tone will depend both on the tuning and on the BFO setting,
if this latter is adjustable. The purpose is to bring the trace of the
received signal between the two yellow lines. Anything that falls
outside, even slightly, of the two yellow lines is simply ignored by
the program.
USB/LSB : you can use the CW mode on your radio, but you must
know whether what is received is the lower or the upper sideband
when in CW mode. Then set Jason accordingly.
