locked Sudden burst in JT9 activity. Why?
|
JTAlert Support (VK3AMA)
I have noticed over the last 2 days, a
significant increase in JT9 activity as shown in the JTAlert Band
Activity popup and on HamSpots and PSKReporter. Is there a JT9
specific contest on at the moment?
As I type this message 19:30 utc, the daily peak in PSKReporter activity, the top 3 reported modes (last 2 hours) on PSKReporter are FT8, FT4, JT9.  Does anyone know the reason for the sudden increase? de Laurie VK3AMA

Laurie, there is at the time of writing, a day of activity sponsored by the Russian Digital Radio Club. RDRC. Look here, http://www.rdrclub.ru/dni-aktivnosti-rtsrk/825-jt9-activity Best wishes and thanks so much for your software. 73 Chris G7OGX No trees were harmed with the sending of this message, just billions of electrons – terribly confused!

Is it possible that hams have RTFM and realized that it's greatly superior mode for weak signal work, especially at lower frequencies? I would LOVE to see it much more widely used on 160M for weak signal work. EU is very tough on 160M from NorCal; the 4 dB or so advantage of JT9 over FT8 would help a lot! 73, Jim K9YC

Sadly, I agree with you. FT8 is like playing a game of
