Hi Doug,

I'm sorry to hear of the illness in the family, but welcome back.

WSPR is very popular for beaconing, and JT9 is the standard for QSOs. 
Over the last couple of weeks there was a major resurgence of the almost 
forgotten WSPR-15 which brought amazing DX reports and many personal 
best DX receptions. From time to time there is QRSS and DFCW in the 
visual modes window(s).

Unfortunately the slower 2, 5 and 10 minute JT9 variants have not gained 
much foothold, despite their obvious promise for longer distances 
compared to standard JT9.

73,
Paul N1BUG
Active 2200m WSPR2, WSPR15, DFCW; sometimes JT9-10 and occasionally 
EbNaut (transmit only)
