New WSJT mode Q65

WSJT-X 2.4.0 will introduce Q65, a digital protocol designed for minimal two-way QSOs over especially difficult propagation paths

On paths with Doppler spread more than a few Hz, the weak-signal performance of Q65 is the best among all WSJT-X modes. Q65 is particularly effective for tropospheric scatter, ionospheric scatter, and EME on VHF and higher bands, as well as other types of fast-fading signals.

Q65 uses 65-tone frequency-shift keying and builds on the demonstrated weak-signal strengths of QRA64, a mode introduced to WSJT-X in 2016. Q65 differs from QRA64 in the following important ways:

droidstar for android is software which connects to D-STAR, DMR, Fusion, NXDN, P25, and M17 reflectors and gateways/repeaters over UDP. It uses open source vocoder software for all modes, and requires no AMBE hardware or silly remote AMBE servers. Dstar encoding is currently not acceptable for QSOs, so TX has been disabled.

The ebook Capture the MAGIC of Six Meters by Jim Wilson K5ND is available for free download

Have you ever wondered about the “Magic” of Six Meters?

It really doesn’t take much on six meters — your existing HF+6 meter rig along with a simple antenna, even a dipole, will work. In this book, you’ll find out how I know that dipoles work along with how to build one of your own.

This book will also provide plenty of insight into how you, too, can “Capture the Magic of Six Meters.” It covers propagation, equipment, software, antennas, awards and contesting, as well as assistance in finding the magic.
