Is it possible to transmit on two frequencies at the same time with wsjt-x FT8. Below are screen prints receiving K4UX sending on two frequencies yesterday on 30m.

Hi Jerry,

the things to note here are that the messages are the same, the SNR numbers are very different, and the frequency separation is a multiple of 60 Hz (particularly a multiple of 120 Hz).

This all adds up to his signal being modulated by line hum in the audio domain, from a full-wave rectified, but not fully smoothed, PSU. I would guess the source of the noise is at the transmitting end but that is not conclusive as he is the strongest signal. W7OM and KE4FW are only a little weaker and have no images to I would say with a high probability that the problem is at K4UX's end. Noise mixing producing unwanted images only 24 dB down from the fundamental are not desirable although, by far, not the worst see on the bands.
