 Credits:
-  Brought together by Dan MD1CLV, extensions by Guido PE1NNZ
-  Based on WSPR code from F8CHK and PiFM code from http://www.icrobotics.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Turning_the_Raspberry_Pi_Into_an_FM_Transmitter
+  Credits goes to Oliver Mattos and Oskar Weigl who implemented PiFM [1]
+  based on the idea of exploiting RPi DPLL as FM transmitter. Dan MD1CLV
+  combined this effort with WSPR encoding algorithm from F8CHK, resulting
+  in WsprryPi a WSPR beacon for LF and MF bands. Guido PE1NNZ extended
+  this effort with DMA based PWM modulation of fractional divider that was
+  part of PiFM, allowing to operate the WSPR beacon also on HF and VHF bands.
