No doubt you're correct that 3XY has been used for over 18 years. The callsign compression algorithm used in WSJT, MAP65, WSPR, and WSJT-X has been around almost as long, since 2001. Nobody has complained (or even sent us a polite note) about a need to support 3XY until yesterday.
The runaway popularity of FT8 is the reason why this issue has come to the fore.
If we do something to solve this problem, we do NOT want to do it on a one-prefix-at-a-time basis.
Makes perfect sense.
Please be aware that right now, our top development priority is developing an operating submode for FT8 that will optimize QSO rates for DXpeditions.
That's certainly a worthy objective, and deserves the priority you're giving it.
Thanks for all the great work by you and the rest of the team. 73, Jim K9YC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
