[VHFcontesting] JT65 vs. FSK441

[John Geiger]

Hi John,

You would be surprised what you can work using FSK441 off of random meteors. 
You can really make some QSOs when you catch even one of the minor meteor 
showers.

JT65 works good for EME also.  FSK441 will get you QSOs beyond the range 
that you can get on tropo with JT65.
