that does this and more ... JT-Alert

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.

Nope. He says as he clicked, the display scrolled, so the call he
intended was now above his mouse pointer.

DX or some other directed CQ. This often happens just as the
Band Activity window updates. I click on a CQ, but as the
window updates, I find that I've actually clicked on another
station who was calling CQ DX.
Sorry, I don’t get it. The line is printed all at once. DX
appears at the same time CQ appears on the same line on the
same screen, so why are you clicking on it? That action seems
only possible when the station changes his mind and sends his
second CQ as CQ DX after a prior unqualified CQ.
