Thanks for the information and consideration. A few more dB would
certainly go a long way, whatever that may end up being. I've already
attempted a QSO with W7IUV in WA that was just past the edge of JT9's
current capabilities. We'll eventually make it with some patience on
the right morning. There has probably been an equal amount of FT8 and
JT9 activity on the band to date.
Hope to hear and work you on the band soon. GL DX.

AP decoding capability is not likely to be added to JT9. The whole
concept is not well matched to convolutional codes like the one used
in JT9. A much better prospect for use at MF and LF would be a "slow
FT8" mode with longer transmissions -- say one minute, like JT9. This
is eminently feasible and might be implemented at some point.
Such a mode could be interesting for EME, as well -- where people need
every possible dB of sensitivity but are not always in such a hurry.
We have not forgotten about WSPR-LF, either. Or, maybe, a QSO mode
that uses OQPSK and coherent demodulation.
I hope to have a signal of my own on 472 kHz, before too long!
