From what I have seen so far I think JASON will produce good copy on a
signal that is Q5 at QRSS10 or maybe QRSS20 speeds.  I don't think it
will rival WOLF or QRSS60/120 for detecting a weak signal.  What JASON
will do is to allow us to send something other than a beacon ID's and to
communicate in real time.  I believe this is Alberto's goal for JASON.

Many times I have seen G3AQC and G3KEV signal on 135 kHz strong enough
to probably produce good copy here if they had been in JASON mode.

I can move anywhere in the band.  Love that variometer!
