X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) No, nothing on JT65A. WSPR is still decoding OK even though nothing is visible on the SpecJT screen. I;'ve been getting quite a lot of demods showing sync 404Hz with a S/N -25dB, but can't see anything on the screen as to why that should be. Just one correct one at 430Hz (corresponding S/N -30dB, so wouldn't expect copy) Over the last 2 hours WSPR Rx has only failed to decode 7 times, and each one of those is still reporting valid sync with a S/N of -21dB or lower. Just about to download the Windoze version of WSPR. Pity, I liked the command line interface in the first version. There's not enough S/W written with a simple interface these days.
