Hi Tom, Pretty daft to kill processes that may be needed on an assumption. It's not daft, at all. Probably 99% of WSJT-X users run only one instance. In the rare but not unheard-of case where something caused a program crash, jt9.exe may be left running. When WSJT-X is re-started, that

Hi Philip, Our policy is to report all decodes that include a grid square, as we receive them. Multiple decodes of the same transmission by the same receiving station are most frequently caused by: 1. Low-level sidebands offset in frequency by multiples of the power-line frequency.
