Folks, I can vouch for the usefulness of RRR on FT8 in certain situations, such as running QRP 5 Watts. I often found, as a QRP station, that I needed to run with RRR as my default TX4 message to ensure the other end heard my reply and confirm a contact, otherwise they may miss the RR73 and

Agree 100%. The number of ops who refuse to be control operators and just log and move on because, “the software didn’t tell me the QSO is complete” is staggering.On Oct 22, 2023, at 1:06 AM, Ed W0YK via wsjt-devel wrote:+173,Ed W0YK Original message From: Ron WV4P via wsjt-devel
