Hi Phil,

we use Hamlib for direct CAT control of rigs, and yes there is a driver 
for the IC-9700 in the pipeline. In the meantime you can try either the 
IC-910 or the IC-7300 drivers, you will need to change the rig CI-V 
address to the one for the model you choose.

[wsjt-devel] People are rude - sometimes uninformed

2019-04-19 Thread WB5JJJ
The other day, I was trying to work the Z81D on 20m FT8.  After calling
till I was blue in the face, he finally responded to me.  I got his report,
but I never heard from him again because a +14 signal from the East Coast
started calling him on the DX stations frequency and on the DX stations
time slot.  He must have called for 10 minutes before his Watchdog Timer
timed out.  Then was back at it again.  I was so mad, I just went back to
SSB to cool off and had a couple of nice QSO's there.

Later I saw this fellow join one of the FT8 groups and ask for instruction
on how to operate FT8.  Said he was a 30 year ham and just got into the
digital world.  The majority of responses were to RTFM, as expected.
Whatever happened to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before leaping into something
new?

BTW, I did log the contact just in case, since it was an ATNO for me on any
band/mode.  Maybe the DX did the same.
