W0BTU directed a question to me about JT-9. I have never tested JT-9 so
I don't have any information to supply on that subject.
The S/N number supplied by FT-8 was only a curiosity to me because I
could see a huge disparity between what was being reported versus what I
was observing on my receiver. The reported S/N seems to be about
useless, but the really important question was what is the lowest signal
to noise FT-8 can decode,(real S/N, not the reported number). That was
the main question I wanted to answer with testing.
A little off subject but people also need to stop using S/N numbers as a
measure of antenna gain.
