I agree John. But I'd like to wait until rc2 comes out next week. Then after kicking the tires we can try a mock trial Special Operating Activity as you suggest.

I’m among that eager bunch and would be willing to participate in such testing at any time. I just finished Salmon Run and would have loved to run with 2.0. Speaking as a WWDX Club board member and sponsor of the Salmon Run contest: next year, we’re willing to change the Salmon Run exchange (if needed) and cut the WA County abbreviations to 3 char from the existing 3 & 4 character set to accommodate 2.0. Anyone to wants to try some testing soon, I’m here. How about a Mock Field Day in October, then run for real during the Winter Field Day, January 26/27 2019?

If you think it might be done before then, we can certainly wait. Our thinking is that there may be some operators who would like to use it for the ARRL RTTY Roundup. An FT8 contest, with ARRL RTTY Roundup rules, in December could be a way to test the setup before January's contest. I just wanted to see how it's done. Has there been any discussion as to what frequencies would be good for FT8 contesting on HF? Thanks!

You can clear the log (to start afresh, say just before a contest starts) by selecting *File | Erase cabrillo.log*. File cabrillo.log is updated every time you log a QSO. At present the file contains only "QSO:" records. For submissioin to a contest sponsor it will need stuff like this at the start: START-OF-LOG: 3.0 CREATED-BY: WSJT-X LOCATION: SNJ CONTEST: ARRL-VHF-JUN CALLSIGN: K1JT CATEGORY-ASSISTED: NON-ASSISTED CATEGORY-MODE: MIXED CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH CATEGORY-STATION: FIXED CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE CLAIMED-SCORE: 5640 OPERATORS: K1JT CLUB: Mt Airy VHF Radio Club NAME: Joe Taylor EMAIL: k...@arrl.net ADDRESS: Joe Taylor, K1JT ADDRESS: 272 Hartley Ave ADDRESS: Princeton, NJ 08540 ... and one like this at the end: END-OF-LOG: We'll get to this, in due course. In the meantime, if you're in a rush, it's not that hard to add the necessary lines with a text editor. Do you have some deadline in mind? -- 73, Joe, K1JT _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
