Hi Joe,
I was testing with in r7976 and was wondering if the contest mode was
auto sequence enabled. Apparently it isn't ?? Is that right. Just
want to make sure, as the exchange had to be manually advanced.

Please follow instructions in the User Guide and address queries about
WSJT-X to wsjtgroup or wsjt-devel. I am copying this reply to wsjt-devel.
I have not yet had a chance to test the 72-bit contest mode of FT8 on
the air. However, I had thought that auto-sequencing should work as
expected. Please elaborate on why you think it does not.
As always, if you think you have uncovered a bug, it's best to provide a
series of steps that will reproduce the bug.

Hi all Beta Testers,
In code revision r7969 the WSJT-X development branch supports "Contest
Mode" in FT8 as well as MSK144. This mode is designed for NA VHF+
contests in which the required exchange is a 4-character grid locator.
Contest Mode is enabled by checking the box labeled "FT8 and MSK144
Contest Mode" on the *Settings -> Advanced* tab. When that has been
done by both QSO partners, QSOs in the following formats are supported:

Please note that these features do not (yet) take advantage of the
enhanced 75-bit messages possible in FT8. We are currently working on
uses for the extra 3 bits that will provide support for other contest
types, perhaps including RTTY-like and EU VHF+ contests, as well as
improved support for messaged containing compound callsigns.
If you are able to build WSJT-X r7969 and to find a partner with whom
you can test these new features, please send reports to this list.
