While JASON certainly is interesting, I'm not sure that it's weak signal
performance compares with that of other modes, such as QRSS
or WOLF.

On the JASON website (or one of it's mirrors) you can see a clearly
visible QRSS display that is said to produce "marginal" copy of
characters in JASON mode.

This software has been discussed for a couple of weeks on the
RSGB LF list...but I followed it with only mild interest. I salute
Dex for putting a test signal on-line here in the states.

Dex, would it be possible to QSY higher into the band to get
away from the QRM that seems to plague 177? It's
pretty bad here in Alabama too.
