# What works
So far only encoding is implemented. It should support the basic set of FT8 messages:
* CQ <call> <grid>, e.g. CQ CA0LL GG77
* CQ <xy> <call> <grid>, e.g. CQ JA CA0LL GG77
* <call> <call> <report>, e.g. CA0LL OT7ER R-07
* <call> <call> 73/RRR/RR73, e.g. OT7ER CA0LL 73
* CQ {call} {grid}, e.g. CQ CA0LL GG77
* CQ {xy} {call} {grid}, e.g. CQ JA CA0LL GG77

# What to do with it
You can generate 15-second WAV files with your own messages as a proof of concept or for testing purposes. They can either be played back or opened directly from WSJT-X. To do that, run ```make``` and build ```gen_ft8```. Then run it. Currently messages are modulated at 1000-1050 Hz.
