[Mich VHF UHF Society] WSJT-X Version 2.4.0 rc1 including Q65

[Tom]

Q65 is now available for widespread use on 6m EME (as well as on 
ionoscatter, where it has proven very effective since it is immune to 
meteor bursts). I think it should also excel on TEP, where multipath 
causes doppler spreading. Please refer to the links below to download 
the Release Notes, Quick Start Guide and the program. So far, we have 
been experimenting with Q65-A for 6m EME on 50.211, but I suspect Q65 
skeds will most likely (at least initially) be between 50.210 and 50.220.

Q65-60A should be a very noticeable improvement over JT65B on 2m, and it 
will be very interesting to see what new contacts can be made there as well.
