JT65, developed and released in late 2003, is intended for extremely
weak but slowly-varying signals, such as those found on troposcatter
or Earth-Moon-Earth (EME, or "moonbounce") paths. It
can decode signals many decibels below the noise floor, and can
often allow amateurs to successfully exchange contact information
without signals being audible to the human ear. Like the other
modes, multiple-frequency shift keying is employed; unlike the
other modes, messages are transmitted as atomic units after being
compressed and then encoded with a process known as forward error
correction (or "FEC"), which adds redundancy to the
data such that the message may be successfully recovered even
if all of the bits are not received by the receiver.
Operators have also begun using the JT65 mode for contacts on
the HF bands, often using QRP (very low transmit power); while
the mode was not originally intended for such use, its popularity
has resulted in several new features being added to WSJT in order
to facilitate this use.
