JS8Call is a digital mode software Program which AmRRON operators have been testing and using for the past year.  It is included in the Signals Operating Instructions (SOI) Version 4 and above. 

The mode is used for the following:

1. Short texts to groups (@AMRRON) and individuals

2. Determining which other stations are on frequency, and which stations each of those can copy.

3. Determining path quality between your station and others.

4. Relaying messages through other stations.

5.  And more!  The videos below are extremely helpful for learning the various features, including downloading and setting up the free software.

NOTE:  Be sure to beacon only between 1850 and 2300 on the waterfall.  Turn off Heartbeat and Auto during scheduled nets.
