   Hi Patrick,

   I'm certainly not opposed to the idea of adding new modes to the library. Also, I say this without any on-the-air experience in the mode. It's my understanding that JS8Call is a conversational mode adaptation of FT8, so with that being the case I'm not certain that it would be appropriate for a beaconing/telemetry type of message type that JTEncode is meant for. However, since I know very little about the mode, maybe there's support for those types of messages that I'm not aware of? Let me know a bit more about why I should invest some time in this.

   Thanks,
   Jason

   Hi Jason

   I am also interested in seeing JS8Call mode supported. Would be great to be able to try it.

   Thanks very much

   Hi Jason,
   I would like to express an interest in JS8 mode also. (See: https://github.com/jsherer/ft8call)

   As you mention, JS8 is an extension of FT8 and includes a conversational mode. It does, however, have some useful telemetry modes. One such mode that I have been experimenting with a little is its APRS capabilities. A 12 character maidenhead grid can be encoded to report as a fairly accurate APRS location.

   Unfortunately my programming skills are limited, but I would be happy to provide whatever assistance possible to develop this.

   Regards,
   Leighton
