Get On the Air with HF Digital third edition by Steve Ford, WB8IMY, includes everything you need to set up a station and get on the air using a variety of digital modes. You’ll learn how to make contacts using 11 different digital modes, including the lightning-fast PACTOR system, the weak-signal WSJT-X modes, and relative newcomers like VARA and JS8Call.

FT8 and FT4: Get to know the undisputed kings of HF digital.
PACTOR: One of the most powerful error-free workhorses in the HF digital world.

VARA and Winlink Express: Two software applications that will give you access to the Winlink email network from anywhere in the world.
JS8 and JS8Call: This mode and its accompanying software allow you to carry on conversations — and much more — even with low power and poor antennas.
