Re: [wsjt-devel] Callsign lockout

Just another view on this - last night there was a UK contest - despite it being a ‘Normal’ mode contest a pile of people were using ‘EU Contest mode’. What was noticeable, yes WSJT switched modes to follow but in many cases while switching you ‘lost’ the report. While the system went on to

[wsjt-devel] Plans for JT6m / FSK144

Hi Dev Team WSJT supports JT6m and FSK144 while WSJT-X does not. There are a few people who, depending on mode / activity, still use those modes. Can anyone tell me if adding those ‘older’ modes into WSJT-X is on the to-do list or will we still need to use V10 of WSJT? Thanks Tom -- 73’s

What I can’t workout is why people are using EU VHF in the 1st place. It is not specifically in the rules page as Saku pointed out, but top of the contest page has a link to FT8 settings, that clearly shows should be RTTY, the links to MSHV has a big page on contest setup, again says rtty -
