  Compact MS-Soft for PC
V5.1 / Jan 12th, 2002   by Ilkka Yrjola, OH5IY
a program to transmit high speed morse code in automated, customizable sequence
- can create a list of missing squares within
MS-range(<2250 km), which is based on a
user-created list of worked squares.
- OH5IY's elaborate paper on Meteor Observations with VHF Radio & Computer also
links to a download of his MCT5X software for
counting meteor reflections with radio
- offers download of MAnalyzer V0.94
(mod A & B) by OH2AYP, 01/2002 version
software that uses PC & soundcard to generate numeric statistics on meteor
total reflection duration and counts

 
 WSJT V5.8.6  beta release version Sept 23 rd, 2005
Please read update/version history
With V5.8.6 it is no longer necessary/desirable
to run SPECTRAN simultaneously with WSJT.
Created by Joe, K1JT, WSJT is a computer
program for VHF/UHF communication using
state of the art digital techniques. It can
decode fraction-of-a-second signals reflected
from meteor trails, as well as steady signals
more than 10dB weaker than those required
for conventional CW.
WSJT is freely available to radio amateurs
for non-commercial purposes.
Includes :
- FSK441 MS operation
   (FSK441B & FSK441C with Forward Error Correction)
- JT6M MS operation
   (JT6M designed for meteorscatter on 50MHz)
- JT44 EME operation (including Echo Mode)
- JT65 EME operation
complete with all new WSJT User's Guide


SimJT V0.8.1   by Joe, K1JT
utility program to generate wav-files for
testing and calibrating your own CW copying
ability or the sensitivity of the JT65 decoder,
generates CW & JT65 signals.
Joe is Dr. Joseph Taylor, 1993 Nobel laureate
in physics, for the discovery of a new type of pulsar (Princeton Pulsar Group), see his

autobiography at the Nobel e-Museum
