Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Extended Free Text QSO Experiment

2018-02-12 Thread Jordan Sherer 
Thanks Joe. I appreciate the response and encouragement.

I understand that this type of change would be a departure from the WSJT-X
goals. If you don't mind, I'd like to continue posting some of my
experiments here to the group to continue the conversation in the future.
If anybody else is interested in this type of exploration, please feel free
to reach out!

In the meantime, let me know if there's anything I can do to help WSJT-X
going forward.

Thanks again!

Best,
Jordan

Hi Jordan,

My guess is that (at least at present) the interest here is minimal. 
Your idea for exchanging much longer messages is pretty far from the 
core goals of the modes supported in WSJT-X.


Please don't let my comment discourage you from proceeding as you wish, 
toward something new.

Hi team!

This is a follow-up to my email I sent out back in August of last
year. Since my last message, I've been experimenting with many
different digital modes while operating portable, including FT8. The
mode is fantastic for low power portable operating, often allowing
QSOs farther under the noise than even Contestia/Olivia.

In this exploration, I've found a set of ham radio operators that
are incredibly interested in the properties of FT8, but have need
for extended free text QSOs and keyboard to keyboard communication.
I've been exploring this space since.

 From my last email, you can see an example of this in action here:
_https://widefido.wistia.com/medias/7bb1uq62ga
_

However, since then, I've been experimenting with a standard form UI
similar to what you would see in Fldigi and others for keyboard to
keyboard communication. I've attached a photo of this here.

My question to Joe and the group are:

1) is this something being actively worked on by other developers?
2) is there interest in including something like this in the
official wsjtx build?
3) what's the process to get community contributions included?

Thanks!

Best,
Jordan

Hi devs,

I have not heard back from the group yet. I'm fine to drop this and move
along, as I don't want to waste my or your time. I am just looking for a

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Extended Free Text QSO Experiment

2018-02-09 Thread Jordan Sherer 
Hi team!

This is a follow-up to my email I sent out back in August of last year. Since 
my last message, I've been experimenting with many different digital modes 
while operating portable, including FT8. The mode is fantastic for low power 
portable operating, often allowing QSOs farther under the noise than even 
Contestia/Olivia.

In this exploration, I've found a set of ham radio operators that are 
incredibly interested in the properties of FT8, but have need for extended free 
text QSOs and keyboard to keyboard communication. I've been exploring this 
space since.

>From my last email, you can see an example of this in action here: 
>https://widefido.wistia.com/medias/7bb1uq62ga

However, since then, I've been experimenting with a standard form UI similar to 
what you would see in Fldigi and others for keyboard to keyboard communication. 
I've attached a photo of this here.

My question to Joe and the group are:

1) is this something being actively worked on by other developers?
2) is there interest in including something like this in the official wsjtx 
build?
3) what's the process to get community contributions included?

Thanks!
