Today is the 31st of May, and Winrad V1.24 will stop working at midnight.
I have uploaded a new version, V1.25, only to the mirror site
http://www.winrad.org
as the main weaksignals site is temporarily unreachable via the FTP. Probably they are doing some maintenance.

In addition to a prolonged expiration limit, the main changes of V.25 wrt V1.24 are the following :

- Audio buffers locked in memory, to prevent them from being swapped out in case of RAM shortage.
- Implementation of an _experimental_ despreading functions, meant for 10 GHz (and above) signals reflected from the
moon, with the consequent spreading of a few hundred Hz.  I have tested this function only with synthetic signals
produced with the MWCW program set for 0 dB S/N ratio, as I don't have 10 GHz EME capabilities.
Please bear in mind that this function is _experimental_ and far from being final.
I will update this night or tomorrow the User Guide to fully explain how to use this function.

As soon as the weaksignals site will be reachable again, I will update that too. For the time being, please use the
mirror, thanks.
