If you get the impression that I'm keen on K1JT's new JT9-1 mode, you'd be right. This morning my signal (25W to an attic dipole) was spotted by Laurie VK3AKA in Australia - the longest distance I've been received using JT9-1 yet. A QSO must surely follow.
My signals down under were -18dB. Yes, it seems Laurie is testing some new add-on for WSJT-X that spots to Hamspots with additional info. Exciting stuff! JT9-1 is turning out to be the WSPR QSO mode that many hoped for.

Oh yes, oh yes! Exciting! Every time I do JT9 I always have Laurie's site in the background. I wouldn't like to miss it. I noticed yesterday that just a slight bit of propagation gives already tracebale signals. And the new version works even easier. I think JT9 is going to be the mode for 2013! 73, Bas
Good morning Julian, nice to see that JT9-1 is both catching on as a mew mode as well the software is consistently being developed as well. I like your thinking about this mode being a WSPR mode that you can make contacts with!!

Thanks for turning my attension to Hamspots.
Your blog is a constant source of inspiration for things to either check or try

Just had my 1st JT9-1 contact with YO7IJO.
Think this could be great for making contacts with my lousy antenna!!
Thanks Julian for bringing it to my attention.
Mike.
TNX 20m QSO Julian!
