Its internal code was designed by IV3NWV. +The protocol uses a (63,12) Q-ary Repeat Accumulate code that is +inherently better than the Reed Solomon (63,12) code used in JT65, +yielding a 1.3 dB advantage. A new synchronizing scheme is based on +three 7 x 7 Costas arrays. This change yields another 1.9 dB +advantage. A few details of the QRA64 protocol are still subject to +change, as more experience is gained. + +In most respects the current implementation of QRA64 is operationally +similar to JT65. QRA64 does not use two-tone shorthand messages, and +it makes no use of a callsign database. Rather, additional +sensitivity is gained by making use of already known information as a +QSO progresses -- for example, when reports are being exchanged and +you have already decoded both callsigns in a previous transmission. +QRA64 presently offers no message averaging capability, though that +feature may be added. In early tests, many EME QSOs have been made +using submodes QRA64A-E on bands from 144 MHz to 10 GHz.
