Hi Reino, I completely understand – which is why I wonder why people expect WSJT-X to work for WFD, when it obviously cannot unless the protocol is, in fact, changed. Larry / W1DYJ From: Reino Talarmo Sent: Friday, February 19, 2021 15:56 To: 'WSJT software development' Subject: Re: [wsjt-de

I could be wrong, but I thought Joe’s analysis showed that the Winter FD exchange would not fit into the 77 bit package that FT8/4 used. Perhaps if WFD changed its exchange to fit the already available rules, it would work well. 73 -- Larry -- W1DYJ From: Dave Slotter, W3DJS Sent: Friday,

Hi Jim, As much as I agree with the vast majority of your comments, I must respectfully not agree with this one. I find the "prefix" to the exchange very useful and not archaic. From my earlier post: Think of the "59" OR "5NN" as a synchronizing bit for the impo

My guess, after many years of FD, is that MOST operators would have little idea of what ANY indication of a clock-sync issue means. Many ops are sitting down operating for the first time, getting their feet wet with (NOT A CONTEST) Field Day. PLUS, as has been noted, many FD sites DO NOT have
