Hi Steve, 5CT is not a valid RA call sign as the third character is not a number, when the first character is a number or one of those country codes such as N, G etc. That’s why it is not source coded properly and recognized as a call sign and double clicking don’t work for you; message is a free text one and human beings are happy, but not WSJT-X. Further information in User Guide section 17.1.
73, Reino OH3mA * First of all 5CT is not a valid call sign. It may or it may not be … It COULD have been allocated. But I have been responding to a number of calls that now fit this template i.e. N7C ( https://www.qrz.com/db/n7c ) is a VERY valid and sought after call. I was able to make contact with that station but not this one ! 73 Steve I VK3VM / Vk3SIR From: Frode Igland <frodeigla...@gmail.com <mailto:frodeigla...@gmail.com> > Sent: Tuesday, 18 August 2020 9:08 PM To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] r2.2.2 Minor Issue with "short" calls that use DX Steve, I guess that your statement "WSJT-X will not pick up this call" means that WSJT-X will not automatically enter this call into the "DX Call" field, nor the locator into the "DX Grid" field. That is true, but WSJT-X will certainly pick up the call and grid as decoded if you enter it manually into the two fields. WSJT-X does not care how the call and grid arrives in the two fields, but once they are there they are used as entered. I had no problem sending any of the Tx1 - Tx5 messages with 5CT in the DX Call field and JN0 in the DX Grid field. Secondly, and all important here, it 5CT is not in accordance with the WSJT-X defintions and algorithms for what constitutes a call sign as defined in https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.2.2.html#PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW . Consequently, all my messages were sent as free text messages truncated at 13 characters, which is just right. 73 Frode LA6VQ tir. 18. aug. 2020 kl. 08:11 skrev Stephen VK3SIR <vk3...@hotmail.com <mailto:vk3...@hotmail.com> >: Hi Folks, I am unsure whether this has been reported: 30m: 055130 -11 0.2 1626 ~ CQ CO8LY FL20 Cuba 055130 -17 0.3 1342 ~ R3BV F1LYV RR73 055130 -19 0.3 618 ~ CQ DX 5CT JN0 Morocco <-- Will not allow this to be picked this up 055200 -12 0.2 1627 ~ CQ CO8LY FL20 Cuba No matter what you do or how you try to pick up this calling station and pick up its call (i.e. click on it, double click, even use JTAlert) WSJT-X will not pick up this call ! I can see that this is being primarily interpreted as a text message (i.e. > 13 chars) ... with the call framed in a " bad" format (missing the final char of the maidenhead). [ It is fully understandable and understood why the logic will not allow this call to be picked up as the truncated maidenhead is confusing things ] Unfortunately I do not have a recording of this to post back ... The screen is going nuts here with PM's so it needs be reported. 73 Steve I VK3VM / Vk3SIR _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
