Hello to all
I am Luigi HB9CXZ, this year for the ninetieth of USKA use HB90CXZ.
I use the latest version of WSJT-X 2.0 on a computer running Windows XP.
I can not make qso with portable stations, the reports are cut both in
transmission and in reception.
For example I could not make a qso with EW2/RN1NS that called me because
after our call everything else was cut.
I tried to use TX6 as free text box and write the report but it was reset at
every step.
Should not WSJT-X remove "EW2/" during qso? It did not happen, there was the
full call in TX1, 2 and 3.
Some idea ? I have something wrong or I have to put on FOX to use a special
call?
I'm not an expert in digital mode I come from an infinite series of qso in
SSB and now with the propagation closed here in the mountains I see that
interesting things are done.
73 and happy new year.

Hi Luigi,
it is technically possible for two non-standard callsign stations to
have QSO using FT8 in WSJT-X v2.0.0 but the built-in message generator
does not automatically provide the required messages. That may be
improved in a later release. A possible sequence could look like:
CQ HB90CXZ
<HB90CXZ> EW2/RN1NS
RN1NS <HB90CXZ> -10
<HB90CXZ> RN1NS R-12
EW2/RN1NS <HB90CXZ> RRR
HB90CXZ <EW2/RN1NS> 73
or the other way around:
CQ EW2/RN1NS
<EW2/RN1NS> HB90CXZ
<HB90CXZ> RN1NS -13
RN1NS <HB90CXZ> R-11
HB90CXZ <EW2/RN1NS> RRR
EW2/RN1NS <HB90CXZ> 73
neither QSO format is optimal as hash codes must be used for sending the
QSO partner's callsign until the last messages sent. Using RR73 to end
such QSOs is not recommended as it is arguable that the basic
requirements for a two-way QSO would not be met.
I am not suggesting that you can make QSOs like this as it is not very
practical to edit the messages as required and also to assume your QSO
partners with non-standard calls will do the same. I am just showing
that it might be possible in future versions with an enhanced message
generator. Until then QSOs between two stations both having non-standard
callsigns is not really practical using FT8 with WSJT-X v2.0.0.
