WSJT-X RU Contest Observations 10-24-18 - AK6A
The band conditions were very poor for me here in Oregon (it was still daylight and a bit early for 40m). I made a few contacts and here are my observations. 1. My sent report was never logged into either the WSJT-X Contest Log or the Log QSO. I had to manually enter the Sent RPT into the Log QSO window for it to be logged correctly. In no case did it ever show in the Contest Log. 2. I responded to W7XYZ who was sending a CQ in Non-Contest mode (I was in RU Mode). My responses were in “Contest Sequence”, his were in ’Standard Sequence”. The contact was logged with a RCVD RPT of “W7XYZ R-01” and again no sent report. A subsequent contact with W7XYZ being in RU mode resulted in the correct exchange (but no logged Sent RPT.) 3. I saw numerous strong signals on the waterfall that did not decode. These looked like standard FT8 broadcasts (Not the multiple time slot JS8CALL). 4. The contest log allowed DUPS. The QSO rate stayed at zero. (I know these are known issues) The contest was fun, I just wish there were more people to contact. SW: WSJT-X 2.0 RC3 OS: Mac OS X Mojave Additional SW: JTBridge, MacLoggerDX Running WSJT-X from the desktop using terminal as outlined in the limitations. Thanks! Bill - AK6A
