WSPR of course uploads reception reports to wsprnet.org. WSJT-X uploads FT8
reports to pskreporter.info but only for those CQ <CALL> <GIRD> messages -
as far as I know something like VE3GHM FN25 (without the CQ) would not get
uploaded by WSJT-X to pskreporter.info.
Calling CQ without listening seems like a no-go to me.
Agreed it's pretty poor practice. I mostly use FT8 on 6M and 160M, and
often leave the radio on and monitoring while I'm out of the shack. If
I'm feeding PSKReporter, which I do by default, and ask to display
anything sent or received by me, I'll see all the stations I've decoded
of the time period selected, so it's easy to determine band conditions
and activity.
My shack is in an outbuilding; from the house, I look at PSKReporter
before heading out the door; if I don't see decodes from the areas I
want to work, I stay inside. Once in the shack, after monitoring for a
whike, I'll call CQ several times to see who's hearing me, again
assessing activity asnd conditions. Mostly though, I monitor and call
stations I want to work, causing minimum QRM to others.
