Exploring JTTY and Annual Club Elections
The Larkfield Amateur Radio Club held its November meeting on Thursday evening, featuring an informative and engaging presentation by Tom Rothamel, AA2TR, on JTTY, a new amateur radio digital mode inspired by RTTY.
Tom provided an in-depth look at how JTTY works, explaining the technology behind the mode, its capabilities, and its potential applications in amateur radio communications. His presentation also explored how JTTY compares with established digital modes such as RTTY, PSK31, FT4 and FT8, highlighting the differences in their operation and potential uses.
The presentation offered members an opportunity to learn about an emerging digital mode and gain a better understanding of the continued evolution of digital communications in amateur radio.
