Hi George ... What's wrong with signal reports... lots of us like to know how well we are getting out. I also like contesting and appreciate the shorter exchange of contest more when contesting. I've also seen this mode used by FFMA 6m grid chasers (myself included). All well and good.

Good evening all, Today I installed WSJT-X 2.5.0-rc4 and I had a situation today that I had never had before and I am not sure that it is specific to this version of WSJT-X, but there was a station calling CQ, OE21FTDMC, and although I clicked on his CQ in the Band Activity window, it would

How is he harassing you?    He's asking for more details.   Just pasting the pic of the error box does nothing whatsoever.    That same box pops up when I start WSJT-X without having the rig turned on.   The 'More Details" button will supply a lot more information about the cause. Neil, KN3ILZ

Going back to my original suggestion - I do not seek to banish signal reports for those that want them, certainly. Only set the -default- VHF condition to grids-only QSOs. This would have the immediate advantage of substantially untying the mess that crops up too often between users in CM
