I experienced this several times, though when I went back and looked at what they sent in the decode window it appeared the other station was sending a “normal” exchange not a “field day” exchange, so it would be something like “-15” instead of the class/section. Too bad it wasn’t able to so

[wsjt-devel] Field Day Frequencies

For ARRL Field Day 2019, I recall there was a different set of frequencies used for FT8. Does anyone know if there will be a de-facto set of frequencies to use for Field Day 2020 for FT8, and also for FT4? Or the default ones? I did a Google search but I didn’t come up with anything rece

Are you sure its when you hit OK and not the next 7.5 sec interval with the other station still sending 73? I have frequently had problems where the Enable button is shut iff repeatedly because the station I just worked keeps sending the 73 message over and over and every time it disables my TX

Beware those GPS receivers – I got one (unstable latency was throwing me off by as much as 550mS on NTP) and I found that when I tried to set up ntpd to use GPS it was showing jitter of around 0.8 seconds. Further research, USB GPS is a BAD IDEA because there is often buffering in the serial-US

That does seem like it could be useful, I would imagine the problem is compounded by field day people in parks probably sync their clock before leaving and that's it. I do find it interesting sync thru my 4G connection in this park NTP estimates less delay and jitter than on my normal cable ISP
