Re: [wsjt-devel] Field day mods?

I’m really hoping that the Dev Team chooses NOT to make a Field Day (or any HF contest) variant for FT8. Too many variations in formats, exchanges, and such will lead to bloatware and confusion. Since FD, in particular, is a training event, maybe we shouldn’t encourage semi-automated contacts.

Re: [wsjt-devel] working stations over 10000 km on 6m

Would a unique CQ message for contest mode work, or is that asking for confusion? Normal mode: CQ KF2T FM18 Contest mode: CX KF2T FM18 The contest community is smaller than the general population, so it might be an easier “sell." George J Molnar Arlington, Virginia, USA KF2T - FM18lv

[wsjt-devel] Contest Mode Option?

Is it possible that the software could interpret receipt of a grid in place of an expected signal report as an automatic switch to contest mode? That way the receiving station doesn’t need to even know that the transmitter is using one mode or the other. Added benefit - if signals are such

[wsjt-devel] Possible error 1.90rc4 Mac

I’ve had this reproducible error occur a few times now. 1.90rc4 (8642) downloaded from the WSJT-X homepage crashes when command-double clicking on the FT8 wide graph to change DF only after at least one decode cycle has completed. I had not seen this before 8642. OSX 10.13.5 beta, quad core i7

Re: [wsjt-devel] A strange signal seen on the air

Hi Claude. I think Mike´s interpretation is correct. Third harmonics are often stronger than the 2nd, and the variation in signal strength does seem to match the fundamental (which, BTW, is not the TX/RX selected DF). I see this quite frequently. A lot of hay is made on the Facebook group and

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXpedition mode: dissapointed somehow

Have to agree with Jim, N2ADV. An expedition should NOT be using a mode-in-development. It is a near-guarantee of confusion. That said, DXpedition mode is something of a Pandora’s Box. Once opened, the developers have no control over who uses it or when. It would be more than a little naive

[wsjt-devel] CPU Usage Over Time

Using 1.9 (8603) under MacOS 10.13.4. Upon launch, program operates smoothly. As Band Activity window fills, CPU usage rises slowly, until the program becomes unresponsive. At that point, only a forced quit recovers the app. It does keep receiving and decoding, however. If I catch it early

Re: [wsjt-devel] Alternative FT8 DXpedition mode freqs.

Regarding comments suggesting that a band plan can be implemented and enforced in software, I don’t think that will work. It would rely on properly engaged and functional CAT control by the Fox. Given that several stations have already “jumped the gun” and are using the mode in its incomplete

Re: [wsjt-devel] New FT8 Frequencies?

The digital mode watering holes are not (as far as I know in most cases) part of any international agreement or national regulation. If a group of operators want to agree amongst themselves to operate on a particular spot, it is incumbent on them to avoid interference with existing operations

Hi Rich, I’ve observed the same, exactly as you described. Had put it down to urban reflections, perhaps more obvious when W3/W4 is beaming N/NE. Agree with you they are not aircraft scatter. George J Molnar Arlington, Virginia, USA (702) 767-5420 KF2T - FM18lv > On Jul 6, 2019, at
