I have a friend who has a remote station just several miles outside of the 
county limits Grid EM57 (Home QTH) and is now EM56 at his remote location.  
However, he has his QRZ Information updated noting that his station is now at 
the remote site in EM56.

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Missing grid square info

 

Bill,

 

I’m confused. Why does remote operating affect the grid? I operate remotely all 
the time. I operate from my kitchen, my living room, patio, etc. I’ve also 
operated from China and Dubai. But in all cases, the station is in my house in 
Plano, Texas... in grid EM13oc. The grid square never changes. Why does it 
matter where the operator is located? The only thing that is important is the 
location of the radio. 

 

On a slightly different topic... I’ve noticed that some people don’t keep 
QRZ.com updated. The grid they give you during the contact doesn’t match what’s 
on QRZ. So filling in missing grids can be risky.

In the round up, grids are only present in the CQ message.  So if someone 
ANSWERS your CQ, you do not get their grid...

 

I plan to look these up and add then the the log....

 

But, at least 1 Q was with someone using a remote station via internet, so his 
grid will remain unknown...

I'm an FT8 newbie - made my first QSO with this mode less than a week ago.  The 
below problem may have been discussed before and I apologize if I missed it.  
Anyway, I notice that both my LOG and ADI files are randomly missing grid 
squares.  Here's my last 6 QSO's, all made today:

3 of the 6 grid square information is missing, in spite of the fact that it was 
definitely sent to me.  This group was with 1.9.1.  I also had 16 QSOs in the 
Roundup with 2.0.0 RC5 . . . 2 of the QSOs do not have grid information in the 
LOG or ADI file.

Is this a known problem?  Will these missing grids cause me any problems in the 
future?

Tnx & 73,
Bill  AA4M
