  Description     : Amateur Radio Digital Mode providing weak signal keyboard to keyboard messaging

JS8Call is software using the JS8 Digital Mode providing weak signal
keyboard to keyboard messaging to Amateur Radio Operators.

JS8Call is an experiment to test the feasibility of a digital mode
with the robustness of FT8, combined with a messaging and network
protocol layer for weak signal communication on HF, using a keyboard
messaging style interface. It is not designed for any specific purpose
other than connecting amateur radio operators who are operating under
weak signal conditions. JS8Call is heavily inspired by WSJT-X, Fldigi,
and FSQCall and would not exist without the hard work and dedication
of the many developers in the amateur radio community.

JS8Call stands on the shoulder of giants…the takeoff angle is better
up there.

Christoph
