Alberto,

This is an excellent example of why I shouldn't check email while half-awake
in the morning! Please accept my apologies, and thanks for the URL.

Now, having thoroughly insulted you, I have a question. Has anyone ever
proposed a slower speed version of Jason? As it stands, it is a very good
slow-speed "QSO" format, providing the ability to complete a contact within
one's lifetime. <g> But for low-power one-way beaconing, it would be
interesting to trade off time for better weak signal performance. My
understanding of the program is that everything is linked to the bin width.
Would you be interested in coding an option with with a smaller bin width,
and everything reduced proportionally? Would it be worth the effort?
