I chose not to participate in the RTTY contest but still wished to make FT8 QSO on 6 meters. I called CQ K3WYC DM33 thus indicating I was not in the contest. Multiple stations answered me and replied to my report with "R grid". Since these stations provided no report they were not logged.
There needs to be a better way of separating contest participants from those with no interest in the contest. The contest cannot be allowed to take over standard FT8 frequencies. (I am not anti-contest. I have worked many CW contests and a quite a few phone and RTTY contests. I simply choose not to use WSJT-X modes for contesting) 73, Andy, k3wyc
