Thanks, yes, that does it.

Ah, probably not; too busy being retired :).

Sourceforge has its native bug ticket system
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Tickets/ and since you are
already hosting the project there, that might be the easiest way to go.

Personally I like Bugzilla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla. Set it
up on one of your Princeton machines; it's pretty lightweight
https://www.bugzilla.org/. Or run it in Amazon's cloud
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B007I8OOJ0.

But anything will have startup costs and you might not find that worth it.

Hi Paul,

The documentation

Now it seems to me that "New Call" implies "New Call on Band", and so 
should qualify as a potential QSO partner.


However, in my setup, it does not. (That is, a new call on the band can 
trigger the S+P response; while entirely new call, i.e. new on all 
bands, doesn't.)


I think you'll get what you want (for contesting) if you check only 
these (top to bottom) on the Settings -> Colors tab:


X  My Call in message
X  New DXCC
X  New Call on Band

Probably the documentation could be made clearer.

P.S. I'm posting this as a reply to George's note, since its topic fits 
his subject line. Just doing my part to try to keep comments here 
organized a bit. I do not know how the developers continue to maintain 
their sanity without a proper bug reporting and tracking system.


No guarantees that we are maintaining our sanity!  Would you like to 
volunteer to organize and operate such a system?  :-)

[wsjt-devel] S+P operation

2019-05-02 Thread WB5JJJ
Trying new features with FT4 and noticed that when S+P is active during
non-CQ (receive only) operation, it will pounce on stations using directed
calls such as CQ DX WB5JJJ EM35.  In a contest situation, which FT4 is
designed for, this would be fine since there will not be any directed CQ's
typically.  So, should this option not be shown on the main UI unless a
contest is selected since it can cause frustration to some operators that
don't want to be bothered by local stations pouncing on their directed CQ?

Judging from some comments, it appears that FT4 may be the new norm for
those seeking their first WAS, DXCC and not just contests.
