I'm curious as to why KG-STV was chosen for this activity, over something like EasyPal / HamDRM ?
Well, I suspect whoever organized the experiment was likely more familiar with KG-STV than the alternatives. Let's celebrate the fact that a digital format is being tested, even if it won't have error correction turned on for this first experiment.
While the KG-STV format is not well specified it does not seem to be proprietary - lots of details are on http://www.g0hwc.com/kg-stv-english.html . If it becomes ARISS 2.0 standard, I imagine software will present itself for non-Windows platforms.
