Title: Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode Mike, a perfect idea! Just got a 'support call' - he can not TX, he wants to call CQ(???). The guy activated 'Hound', because he wanted to be ready, if any DXPedition shows up! The Fox & Hound boxes should be disa

I think all we need to do is discourage use by the casual user. I proposed this idea earlier but never heard any feedback. #1 Add a Dxpedition flag to the frequency list (defaults to off).#2 If the Dxpedition flag is false then the Fox/Hound boxes are disabled (or even hidden).  If you aren't

Due to unforeseen circumstances I cannot take part in the tests April 7. To the development team: Sometimes you get an offer you cannot refuse. I think this is one of those times and I hope you will give Grant’s offer serious consideration. Tom OH6VDA / JW6VDA > 30. mar. 2018 kl. 00:20 skrev

We are all experimenters. Give us a tool that is new and we will use it and shake it until it exhauts. You know we would use the DXp side of WSJT-X as soon as you released it. Because it's new, because it's shining, because it's what we expected, because we don't know what to expect but we

And about the expedition using DXp without the authorization of the development team (and who did not read the readme file either): I find, for one, that they are doing a very good job. They found how to publicize their expedition (freq and time), and, with the number of bugs in the app,
