WSJT-X implements communication protocols including FST4, FST4W, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, MSK144, WSPR, and Echo. These modes facilitate reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions. JT4, JT9, and JT65 utilize a nearly identical message structure and source encoding, employing timed **60-second** transmit/receive sequences synchronized with UTC. JT4 and JT65 are designed for EME on VHF/UHF/microwave bands, while JT9 is optimized for MF and HF, offering **2 dB** greater sensitivity than JT65 with less than 10% of its bandwidth. Q65 provides submodes with varying T/R sequence lengths and tone spacings, suitable for EME, ionospheric scatter, and weak signal operations on VHF, UHF, and microwave. FT4 and FT8 operate with T/R cycles of 7.5 and 15 seconds, respectively, supporting enhanced message formats for nonstandard callsigns and contest operations. MSK144 is engineered for Meteor Scatter on VHF bands. FST4 and FST4W target LF and MF bands, achieving fundamental sensitivities near theoretical limits for information throughput; FST4 is for two-way QSOs, and FST4W for quasi-beacon WSPR-style transmissions, without requiring the strict time synchronization of protocols like _EbNaut_. WSPR mode enables propagation path probing via low-power transmissions, incorporating programmable band-hopping. The **WSJT-X 2.7** General Availability release introduces the QMAP program, Q65 Pileup, SuperFox mode, a Hamlib update option, and a Message System. SuperFox mode transmits simultaneously to up to 9 Hounds with a constant envelope waveform, providing approximately +10 dB system gain compared to older Fox-and-Hound operations. _WSJT-X 2.7_ for _Windows_ platforms includes _MAP65 3.0_, a wideband polarization-matching tool for EME. The **WSJT-X 3.0.0-rc1** candidate release represents a major revision with new features, some ported from _WSJT-X Improved_. This software is available for _Windows 7_ and later (32-bit/64-bit), various Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RedHat, Raspberry Pi OS), and macOS (10.13 through 15).

Monitoring extremely weak signals in the QRSS (Very Slow Morse) mode requires specialized receiving and processing capabilities to extract information below the typical noise floor. This project provides a software solution, _QrssPiG_, designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, enabling it to function as a dedicated QRSS grabber. It interfaces with various Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices, including the popular _rtl-sdr_ dongles and _HackRF_ units, to acquire raw I/Q data streams. The software then performs the necessary signal processing to visualize and decode these faint, long-duration CW transmissions, often operating with milliwatts of power. The system leverages the computational power of the Raspberry Pi for real-time signal analysis, allowing hams to participate in QRSS experiments and monitor distant beacons. It supports different SDR hardware, offering flexibility in setup and deployment for home stations or remote monitoring sites. The project includes detailed instructions for installation and configuration, making it accessible for those familiar with Linux environments. This grabber is particularly useful for tracking propagation on the LF and HF bands where QRSS activity is common, providing a visual representation of signal presence over extended periods.
