[Lowfer] WSJT JT2 Test tonight

[John Andrews]

I'm going to stick WE2XGR/3's neck out tonight, and try a test of the 
JT2 mode found in Joe Taylor's WSJT program. The test will be on 508.500 
kHz, and will run from about 0000 to 0300 UTC.

This is a weak signal mode, probably comparable to WOLF in many 
respects. WSJT comes from the VHF/UHF weak signal domain, and is a bit 
unfriendly to learn. I have written up some simple instructions for 
receiving that may help:

As noted on that page, transmission will not be continuous, but on the 
even minutes only, and then for 47 seconds out of the minute.

All reports are welcome, and feel free to email me directly with any 
questions. Reception should be easy in the eastern U.S. at this power 
level. The question is whether it can be copied at greater distances.

For those who are offended by this sort of thing, there will be plenty 
of CW signals on 600 meters tonight, and please spare me your rants.
