Hello Tobias,
sorry, I didn't think of the lower offset (1000Hz) with JT9-10.
But I will stick to 501.4kHz TX frequency = 500.4kHz dial for 1000Hz audio.
I will start at 20:00UTC and initially go for 3 rounds (so 20:00-20:10 ,
20:20-20:30 and 20:40-20:50).
It will be just for test purposes:
1. check if my setup is stable enough for JT9-10.
2. if there is significant TX (or RX) drift to provide some audio files for Joe
(K1JT)
So those who will monitor my signal are encouraged to save audio files of the
transmissions and eventually send them to Joe.
73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T

Hi Rik !
My station will be running. Please specify "tonight" more precisely. I
will try to sync on your signal and transmit/reply on the 475 kHz band.
Conditions seem to be very good these days as i was heard by OH5YW and
EI0CF during daylight already (on WSPR) !
Please consider using a lower offset than 1400 Hertz on JT9-10, as Joe
has written :
From Joe K1JT "WSJT-X_Users_Guide.pdf" :
"3. The waterfall frequency range always starts at 1000 Hz. This means
that your on-the-air frequency range starts exactly 1 kHz above your
dial frequency. The upper frequency limit depends on JT9 sub-mode, the
setting of FFT bins/pixel, and the width of the waterfall graph. In
normal use the recommended audio frequency range is 1000–2000 Hz for
sub-modes JT9-1 and JT9-2, 1000–1300 Hz for JT9-5, 1000–1150 Hz for
JT9-10, and 1000–1050 Hz for JT9-30."
I do not have much experience with with JT9-10 yet, so I cannot tell
whether the above text is a recommendation or a must.
The "wide graph" window is automatically zoomed when using JT9-10, so
the absolute maximum Offset would be 1240 Hertz at 1 FFT bins/pixel.
See you tonite !
