Hi All Don’t want to get into a protected discussion on this as I suspect the Dev list is not suitable for some of it.
Take the automatic QSO Mod (I thought JTDX did that already) out of the equation, there are a couple of other features I saw in the posting that could be incorporated into the mainstream release: Filter to exclude some prefixes - perhaps a local always on (JTDX Robot), want to filter, great add the callsign to a filter list, supports (simple) wildcard, want to ignore all Scotland, for example, add GM* - They won’t appear. Noise issues - filter station above and below a certain Db reports. Can’t cope with the colour settings, can display new calls only - filter out worked before to narrow down the ‘hit’ list. Those three I can see being helpful and useful. While I am against the Auto CQ option - would like to point out - the station posting on QRZ is European, in the UK at least, extract from Licence: > 10(1) The Licensee may conduct Unattended Operation of Radio Equipment > provided that any such operation is consistent with the terms of this > Licence. Additional restrictions which apply to the Unattended Operation of > Beacons are specified in Schedule 2 to this Licence. So in some parts of the world it’s legal, In looking at schedule 2 - I would watch calling WSPR a beacon. UK licence excludes any form of beacons between 3.6Mhz and 28Mhz - even then the 80m and 10m bands it is only for DF hunting. Basically 4m upwards with a pile of other restrictions is ok - So any form of WSPR on HF is (as far as I can tell - would love to be corrected) illegal if its called a beacon. Tom P.S. I don’t like censorship so if the QRZ post has been removed it is a little worrying at what else are we not being told - It may be against FCC regs but not all of us are governed by them. -- 73’s Tom GM8MJV (IO85) On 30 Mar 2019, at 15:23, Topher Petty <[email protected]> wrote: > That's not only against the spirit of Amateur Radio, but it's also against > FCC rules regarding unattended operation.
