Hi Dom

You are correct!

Unless the option box is checked in >file>settings to "Enable VHF/UHF/Microwave features", the QRA Modes box doesn't show on the screen. As you are using for LF, I guess the default QRA64 is OK.

I will try to listen for you this evening.

Hi Terry,

sorry but in the version that i'm using (v1.7.0-rc1 r7107) seems there isn't any sub-mode for QRA64.
Am i wrong ?

Hello MF,

Tobias,  thank you for watching my signal yesterday evening. Colin G6AVK has reported also my signal there with thanks.
There was also an attempted qso with Riccardo IW4DXW.
Since there are many wspr's stations on-air in these days that, most probably,  can operate also QRA64 or JT9,   i will repeat ,  this night, the test with QRA64 signal starting at 20.00 UT.
QRG is dial 474.2 kHz + 1200 Hz .
Hope to have a 2-way qso using QRA64 on MF (maybe the first-one ?).  In case of difficulties i can revert in JT9.
QRA64 is designed for EME QSO, so i don't think it is directly useable here on MF/LF. Its bandwidth is big compared to tipical modes in use on MF/LF but... it's worth trying.

WSJT-X Version in use here is v1.7.0-rc1 r7107. Hope to have wspr-15 in the future again available on WSJT-X for the use on LF.


All the best.
Domenico, iz7slz
