Eric Brooks, AF7ZM, presented and demonstrated JT65, a digital mode developed
by Joe Taylor, K1JT, for VHF/UHF Earth-Moon-Earth and MF/HF QRP communication.
WSJT-X, software that implements JT65 and other digital protocols,
is available at:

JT65 requires that both sides of a QSO have their compute real time clocks
synchronized. A program named Dimension4 4 that synchronize your computer's
