Ideas for a 2m (144 MHz) WSPR / FT8 beacon

I am posting an early design sketch of a 2m WSPR beacon. Here are the key points: 25 MHz HCI 0.5ppm TCXO powering the Si5351 module instead of the 26 MHz TCXO. If this fails, we can use a 10 MHz OCXO instead (a bit out of spec but works fine). Tokmas CID10N65F GaN FET might work @ 144 MHz as the 'final'. If not, use Mitsubishi RD15HVF1-501 MOSFET as backup. ...

Easy FT8 Encoder

The Easy FT8 Encoder can be accessed here. In the near future, we want to add the K1JT's original FT8 encoder functionality as well. Update: https://pengowray.github.io/ft8play/ is crazy good!
