I do agree that care needs to be taken. Already there are loud
complaints about PSK31 windows being pushed out by other modes. We
don't want to exacerbate this more.
However I think the onus is more on the dxpedition operator rather
than WSJT-X developers. There are frequencies higher up or lower
I don't think there needs to really be more room. There are several
bands that we can use. I prefer to use WARC bands because I have my
fill of DX on 20 meters but WARC bands offer additional opportunities.
Especially 30 meters where I have gain antennas.

One of my friends has reported something similar - decodes stop for no
reason and start back at random. He doesn't use a Raspberry Pi. He
uses a recent 27" iMac and runs Windows in a Parallels instance. The
rig is a Flex-6300 and uses the COM port for CAT control (via SmartSDR

How do you know we're running power? I run gain antennas including a 3
element beam at height on 30 meters. I get complaints from some that I
am running excessive power. (I run 50 watts except on 80/160 and 6m
where I will run up to 1500W)
Should I just run a G5RV so as not to bend the needle now?
I thought it was just me, but yes I also see this.

Is it possible to not have to use split mode with a SDR like an Anan
or a Flex-6000 series? The audio chain on my Flex-6700 is all digital,
and I can set my receive bandwidth as high as 12kHz and the transmit
as high as 10kHz on SSB digital (DIGU/DIGL). I wouldn't need to use
"Fake it" or split.

So far so good. Testing remote with my Flex-6700 and using remote DAX,

I was helping a blind ham set up WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5 today and it was

Apart from ADA stuff it simply isn't working for blind hams. Besides, the

modifying source code and bypassing all manual input.
Not sure what can be done other than maybe invalidate awards from automated
robot cheating.

That's a good idea. Some held on to old versions so they could retain
features that were detrimental to the herd, such as lock rx=tx.
Expiring the versions is a very good idea.

Are they in the same time slot? If they are on odd and you are on even, no
real harm. FT8 is operated primarily split anyway.
I do know this used to be an issue when lock rx=tx was a thing that people
would work you then transmit in your frequency slot.

I don’t mind it being a submode.
What is puzzling is why FT4 is a submode and FT8 is not. Seems rather odd
since both of them are MFSK.

It’s not illegal to have fully automated stations but current fcc
regulations have stipulations which are detailed in 97.221.
Technically a ft8 auto responding station would be covered under 97.221(c)
- it is responding to interrogation under local or remote control, and less
than 500Hz.
However,
There is a difference. They don’t auto CQ and full auto are in restricted

You’re correct that ARRL doesn’t suggest any different frequencies for FT8
on field day. ARRL doesn’t suggest any specific frequencies for field day
on any mode, in fact.
