Hi! I am 99% calling with TX2. JN76FB is not really hard square, and S5 has size of a UL-square (called grid by ARRL). So, S5 is enough for those pointing antenna or changing polarization on 160m band. Whoever collects UL-squares already has JN76. s52d: 1823 LotW confirmed on all HF bands, jus

Tom, Roger Tom.  As a DX station, you know that many stations move to your transmit freq and call.  Then it becomes bad as the deliberate QRM starts.  Sometimes it is amazing how many stations needlessly get on a DX station's transmit freq.     Danny    W4/AH6FX On Wednesday, April

It doesn't make qrm unless you start calling on the DX's frequency. But in that case it's a nuisance. I have no problem with lots of stations calling me as long as the stay off my tx frequency. 73 de Tom JW6VDA Sendt fra min iPad Air 2 > 10. apr. 2019 kl. 16:24 skrev DX Jami via wsjt-devel >

Tim, Everything the others have said is true.  But it is a matter of perspective too.  Sometimes people click on a DX or desired station whenever they see it pop on their Band Activity screen.  This station [the "clickee" :-) ] often appears without showing its grid square.  Sometimes the "c

Tim- They are simply trying to get the Q over a little faster. DXpeditions like callers to start with S.R. so their Q rate/hour is maximized Bill W2PKY On Tue, Apr 9, 2019 at 2:29 PM Timothy Hickman wrote: > I have noticed lately that when I send CQ on FT8 A few stations respond > with the signa

Double clicking on TX1 will skip the grid. This is useful when band conditions are unstable. Grid is optional anyhow and not useful for much other than turning your antenna toward the station. More info on skipping TX1 is available in the user manual (press F1). Jim S. N2ADV > On Apr 9, 201
