Hi, some recent 50 MHz activity between Europe and VK/ZL has shown that the dreaded popup for NA VHF Contest mode still occurs during normal operations. When double clicking on a CQ from a europe station on 50 MHz, the popup occurs and then takes focus, this popup is not always on top of the main

Hi Peter, Unfortunately, take-up and use of WSJT-X by VK and ZL VHF operators -- at least by those who report back to us -- was rather slow during the "candidate release" periods of v1.8.0-rc1 and -rc2. We can't fix what we don't know is broken. The first we heard of this problem was 10 day

Hi Dev team, since the inclusion of "NA VHF Contest mode" in WSJT a lot of VK and I believe also ZL operators get to see a popup from WSJT-X that wants them to enable "Contest Mode?". I have spoke directly to many that have experienced this and a lot of them have just stopped using WSJT-X in fa

Hi ! The "NA VHF contest" mode could be also useful in NAC  (Nordig activity contests [10m to microwaves]) if just 6chr locator could be changed. I'm afraid that this runs out of bits in message, or could it be implemented somehow? -- Saku OH1KH
