JT9-2 vs JT9-5 Test 27-30 December 2018 TX Station: N1BUG Location: FN55mf Power: 1W EIRP Frequency: 136 kHz TX Format: JT9-5, then JT9-2, repeat cycle every 10 minutes JT9-2 Message: VVV N1BUG 2 JT9-5 Message: VVV N1BUG 5 Introductory Remarks -------------------- SlowJT9 is an application being developed by Rik, ON7YD / OR7T. It aims to bring back the long abandoned slow JT9 modes which were once included in WSJT-X. The slower modes may be used to good advantage for weak signal QSOs on LF and MF. The goal of this test was to see whether JT9-5 decodes in situations were JT9-2 cannot. A beacon alternating one JT-5 transmission immediately followed by one JT9-2 transmission, this pattern repeating every ten minutes, was operated for three nights. Reception reports received are included in this report. Reports which included only one mode are not included, but were greatly appreciated. There were reports from stations who were both listening and transmitting which are not included here. The work load of trying to subtract periods when they were transmitting in order to not skew the data is prohibitive. One report from K3SIW is included mainly for those who may wish to analyze SNR reporting between modes.

level than JT9-2 can. Even considering signal fading with the longer transmission periods, JT9-5 gets the message through more often. Additional JT9-5 repors were received from DF6NM, LA3EQ, VE7VV, G0MRF. 2E0ILY reported reception on JT9-5 and JT9-2. KA9CFD reported JT9-5 and JT9-2 with 5 appearing earlier in the evening than 2.
