[Moon-net] 2m / 70cms Hardware

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

Thank-you everyone for the help, many off-list replies received.

I have been asked what I am writing: it's Joe Taylor's WSJT integrated in a 
digital mode program where this one program should be able to do everything 
required for the EME station (Doppler, rotators, WSJT / CW etc.). Also this 
is an exercise in educating myself in the theory behind WSJT and EME / MS, I 
do need educating!

I'm hoping to have a few WSJT QSO's by the end of November, preliminary 
screenshots are here: http://gallery.ham-radio.ch/main.php?g2_itemId=13837 .

Nothing outrageous, just a simple program that a neophyte such as myself can 
use for weak-signal work.
