+JS8Call is software using the JS8 Digital Mode providing weak
+signal keyboard to keyboard messaging to Amateur Radio Operators.
+
+JS8Call is an experiment to test the feasibility of a digital
+mode with the robustness of FT8, combined with a messaging and
+network protocol layer for weak signal communication on HF, using
+a keyboard messaging style interface. It is not designed for any
+specific purpose other than connecting amateur radio operators who
+are operating under weak signal conditions. JS8Call is heavily
+inspired by WSJT-X, Fldigi, and FSQCall and would not exist
+without the hard work and dedication of the many developers in the
+amateur radio community.
