Which is why I do not enable the text message capability in JT-Alert
or EME operators do not use Ping Jockey, etc. during a schedule.
That is *not* a failure of the mode - be it CW, JT65, JT9, FT8, PSK31,
RTTY or whatever.

Actually, I was in the process of learning about JT65 by doing some
listening tests when FT8 was added to the suite. So I took it up almost
immediately after it was introduced. I think I was up to about 80
"contacts" when someone on the WSJT-X Yahoo group suggested that JTAlert
was a great thing to have. I wasn't quite sure why, but I installed
anyway.
The setup in my shack has a laptop on a shelf above a larger monitor on
the operating desk. Normally, the log is on the laptop and everything
else is below using Windows split screen. I was trying to work a west
African station and we were part way through the QSO when it became
clear I was getting QRMed each time I (my computer) sent a report.
After several sequences I saw a brief flash of a window popping up but
straddling both screens so I didn't quite understand what it was. A few
seconds later it happened again but this time I got the gist of what it
was. JTAlert was informing me that my QSO partner was/had been sending
me a text message informing me that he had my report and I should be
sending RRR. At that point I stopped transmitting and unloaded the
software. Nuff said.
