Paul,
In addition to being active using WSJT-X v2.0.0 784f75 , I also run a
Redpitaya to decode FT8 stations and feed the FT8 RBN as well as PSK
reporter. My spot of you may also have been from the RP receiver/decoder.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] WSJT Reporting to PSK Reporter
Hi, I got this address from the WSJT website. I am new to this
group and not sure of the protocols. I tried emailing yesterday but am
unsure if this was received.
I am operating as VK2/G3NJV. After upgrading to v2.0.0 I found reports of
my transmissions almost disappeared from PSK Reporter. I now get just a
handful of reports all from stations NOT using WSJT. Most of these come
from stations using “Red Pitaya FT8 TRX 1.0”. I spoke to Philip Gladstone
about this and he told me that WSJT does not send reception reports to PSK
Reporter unless it receives callsign and locator in a single message. It is
impossible for me to transmit a message like this. Because I have a type B
callsign, all that will fit in a single message is “CQ VK2/G3NJV”
This seems a particularly harsh outcome for type B callsign holders
upgrading to v2.0.0. who, like me, are often operating portable stations
with makeshift antennas where reception reports are extremely valuable. The
reports from stations using a Red Pitaya are perfectly acceptable and I’m
not sure of the reasoning behind the current WSJT “callsign + QRA” rule.
Would it be possible to modify this to allow reception reports for type B
callsigns received without a QRA?
Many thanks for your attention.

PS After completing this email I checked the PSK Reporter website again.
Sure enough there were just 5 reception reports, four from monitors using
Red Pitaya but also a single report from K1HTV using WSJT-X v2.0.0 784f75.
This is the only WSJT reception report seen since 10 December so now I’m
not sure what is going on!
