JS8Call

2019-04-18 My friend Gary, KD9KHI, got me into one more mode, JS8Call. It's a digital mode similar to but quite different from PSK and other digital modes. It's biggest claim to fame is its small signal capability. This morning Gary and I decided to see how low we could cut our power and still communicate. We live about ten miles apart. On 40 meters I was able to copy him at 500mw and he could copy me at 750mw! Both of us were using G5RV antennas. I've had several QSOs now with it and am pretty impressed.
