Hi Peter,
Unfortunately, take-up and use of WSJT-X by VK and ZL VHF operators --
at least by those who report back to us -- was rather slow during the
"candidate release" periods of v1.8.0-rc1 and -rc2. We can't fix what
we don't know is broken.
The first we heard of this problem was 10 days ago, December 10, in a
note to me from Garry Herden, VK5ZK. The problem was corrected on
December 11. With the next program release, things will work as
intended for those of you "down under". That release should come fairly
soon.

Hi Dev team,
since the inclusion of "NA VHF Contest mode" in WSJT a lot of VK and
I believe also ZL operators get to see a popup from WSJT-X that wants
them to enable "Contest Mode?". I have spoke directly to many that have
experienced this and a lot of them have just stopped using WSJT-X in
favor of the MSHV software to avoid the error.
All those I have asked about this assure me they do not have the tick in
the contest mode option but we still see this from WSJT-X during normal
operations on MSK144 & FT8 (screen grab attached)
Could an option be included in WSJT-X that forcibly disables the popup /
mode or some way for us to be rid of this? In many case the pop up box
gets missed on a PC with a busy desktop and the OP wonders why WSJT-X
has stopped responding.
If there is any extra testing needed to chase this down,, I am happy to
provide as much detail as I can muster.
Regards,
Peter Sumner, VK5PJ from down under
