ABSTRACT
WSJT is a weak signal communication software, with multiple protocols implemented, each with their own pros and cons. Recently, a new mode was released called FT8, which has been increasing in popularity every since. This project uses GNU Radio Companion (GRC) to create flow graphs that explore the forward error correction provided by FT8 mode using WSJT. GRC is an open source software development toolkit which provides signal processing blocks, that can be connected to create a flow graph to implement software radios.
