I was very pleased this evening 06/March/19 to complete a JT9-1 QSO with
Paul N1BUG on 137kHz.
Paul and I have been trying almost nightly for the past 3 weeks overcoming
many problems along the way.
Finally we succeeded, with reports of -21 for me, while N1BUG was -27 in
IO91FR (4842km)
I should also like to say thanks to Rik ON7YD.  A few days ago I downloaded
SlowJT9 v0.9.16.0.  I ran this, with "multiple decodes" switched on and had
WSJT-X running parallel.
During the 12 minute QSO, SlowJT9 decoded 5 sequences from Paul at -27
while WSJT-X missed 2 of the 5. Both programmes reported the same signal
levels. Audio for transmit was taken from WSJT.
- Rik. I have saved the decoded files as you requested. when I find out
where they are, I will forward them to you.

Since making a crossband TA QSO (137k to 14MHz) in Sept 2000, a 2-way QSO
has been a long term ambition. This is one ticked off the bucket list.
Thanks Paul for the dedication and perseverance.
