Long story, but they'd like me to stop using "FT8" as the mode name So... how can you help? Now is the opportunity for you to get creative! Email me what you think it should be called!>> Second, I have written some really neat text compression algorithms to send more data in each transmission. What does this mean? We'll likely be able to see 15-20 WPM transmission speeds in the near future. But, I need some help. I need a bunch of ALL.txt files so I can confirm my results with actual transmissions we've sent over the air. If you are willing to help, head over to your log directory (File->Open Log Directory) and email me your ALL.txt file: kn4crd@gmail.com This will let me evaluate two different techniques I've used to see which is better performing with the types of messages we actually send. >> Also note, version 0.7 will likely release on the evening of Saturday Sept 29, so time is of the essence! Until then, see you on the air! Thanks y'all!>> Cheers!>> Best,> Jordan / KN4CRD> _._,_._,_
