Below is a reposting of a message from Joe Taylor, K1JT announcing the release
of a beta version of WSJT 9.0. This may be especially important for the
upcoming contest, since Joe has added a new 15 second t/r period feature for
FSK441 and ISCAT. During a contest, with good signal paths, being able to
shorten exchanges to 15 second periods could result in more contacts being made
during the overnight period.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Joe Taylor for his contribution to the weak
signal art.
