DX NEWS:
NEW VERSION WSJT - WSJT Version 5.9.5, r236, is now available for free download from http://pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT/WSJT595.EXE
. The most important change from previous versions is a significant improvement to the JT65 Deep Search decoder resulting in a big reduction in the number of false decodes. The decoder is also faster. Mode JT65C has been enhanced
in other ways that make it more effective for 1296 MHz EME. VK7MO (2.3 m dish) tells me that he and VK4AFL (3.7 m dish) used it last night to make an easy QSO using 10 Watts at each end, with the Moon close to apogee.On your first
program start-up using version 5.9.5, be sure to enter your correct PTT port number on the Setup | Options page. Under Linux or FreeBSD, enter the appropriate device name, for example /dev/ttyS0. An expanded list of additions,
changes, and bug fixes is available at http://pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT/UpdateHistory.txt As always, the WSJT developers will be happy to receive
your feedback on this new release. You can send email to me or to wsjt-devel@berlios.de . A new WSJT manual is also in the works. I hope it will be available soon. (73, Joe, K1JT).
