Gary Hinson and Bill Pence, You guys both got my point! By the time your brain picks someone to call, and your fingers click the mouse, the screen updates. The result is that you end up clicking on the wrong row. FT8 is fast. You only have 15 seconds to think. Before you even realize what you have done, at least one call has gone out. Let’s be honest, many of us multi-task. Some people work multiple bands at the same time, or operate FT8 and talk on VHF/UHF, or watch TV, or check out the FT8 Facebook groups, etc. One mistaken mouse click can result in multiple calls to someone who is not interested in contacting you.
My preferred solution is a way to disable TX when you click on a CQ that is directed to DX, NA, EU, ZL, etc. I’m sure there are other good solutions.
