Re: [wsjt-devel] How much operating time before rebooting your computer

I have seen the “desensitized” as well, BUT, only for my older Win7 + 2GHz 1.5GB Pentium Mobile laptop (ca 2005). It is only when many signals are present AND the program was running for +4hr. Sometimes the decode takes 4-5 seconds. I only run WSJT-X, Dimension4, Chrome (3 tabs), no

Interesting I could not work them. Zero propagation in the east coast. Weak in the west. However Signals from W7/KH7Z were: - if only one signal (i.e. CQ), he was -21 to -18 - if 3-5 signals, all signals were between -12 to -08. Contrary to logic. Maybe, the close proximity to the

Joe (and the team), First, the last (new) rev of WSJT-X is WAY FASTER to decode a busy band. THANK YOU! My suggestion: Because I made thousands of FT8 contacts (especially on 20m, 30m and 40m), a huge amount of the CQ decodes on a busy band are GREEN (confirmed QSO for call/band/etc). Even

Hi Steve, I didn’t calculate everything - and thank you for doing “my work” for me. ;) In the real world, we need more empirical data to support my thought = FT8 is superior for weak signal/DX/“valuable” contacts (and, of course, “value” is purely subjective). We know is “better”
