Thanks Joe for fabulous software.
In WSJT, in wsjt.py, can you define "idWarn=-1" to stop the error message?
In WsjtMod/options.py can we default, that the sending callsign be always sent?
And, Downunder here, we use "/" to "attach" the report to the callsign as in:
VK7XX/26 VK2ZIW 26
VK7XX/R26 VK2ZIW
VK7XX/RRR VK2ZIW
VK7XX/73 VK2ZIW
Such that when a garbled message via MS is received, we can sort it out.
Lots - a - fun, on 6m, 0700 to 0800 local.
80 (more anodes than a 73)
