JT65 with Softrock Ensemble RX
Here is my first attempt to receive JT65 signals using Softrock Ensemble II rx with MP1 indoor antenna and JT65-HF Version 1.0.9.3 software. Not bad at all.

IOTA – IT help needed
IOTA urgently needs developers to work on coding for the IOTA website.
Volunteers should be reasonably familiar with MySQL, PHP (object oriented), and Javascript (including aspects such as jQuery).
The code is version controlled using Github so familiarity with this would also be useful.
IOTA operates on a tiny budget so the role is primarily for volunteers.
Please contact iota.online@rsgb.org.uk if you think you may be able to help.
We are looking forward to getting as many expressions of interest as possible, to enable the enhancement of the current systems to proceed in a timely fashion.

REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN, Z81X
A multinational group of Dietmar, DL3DXX; Wayne, N7NG; Hans, PB2T; Olli, OH0XX; Martti, OH2BH; Pertti, OH2PM; Veijo, OH6KN and Tevfik, TA1HZ (team doctor) will be in Juba, South Sudan from November 14 - 28, 2013 and will activate Z81X with an emphasis on low bands, 160m and 80m.
The period includes the CQWW CW contest with some single-band entries and low-band SSB focus during the contest weekend.
Hosted by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the group led by Hans, PB2T will conduct a series of workshops and establish a sound amateur radio spectrum management regime and related regulations. It
will also introduce Amateur Radio to the Ministry of Education. Also participating in these efforts are two local amateurs; Massimo, Z81B (IZ0EGB) and Diya, Z81D (YI1DZ). This part of the program is supported by Yasme Foundation Inc.
The plan is to activate three FTDx3000 stations with amps, low-band verticals and beverage antennas. Two different radio locations may be used. The operation will be generator based.
The Z81X team will use their QRZ.com pages for providing further updates and recognizing their supporters, with Vlad, UA6JD as their webmaster.
Z81X Project Goodwill South Sudan is organized jointly by Radio Arcala, DX University, IARU Region 1 and Rock City Investments Co., and the equipment sponsor is Yaesu Musen Co. Ltd of Japan.
In support of the DX University, we will take note of specific relationships between pileup behavior and operator technique. Additional information will be available before the expedition begins.
The highest cost item is equipment transport, with courier service the only reliable means of transportation. The group welcomes support from individuals, clubs and foundations to offset some of the high equipment transport expenses. You may contact any of the group members for your potential support or use PayPal at Z81X QRZ.com.
