Steve, a little bit of know how should sit behind the monitor.
A callsign is designated as country code + number + minimum 1 letter. So 5CT is definitely a false decode. 73 Enrico, OE1EQW Holen Sie sich Outlook für Android On Tue, Aug 18, 2020 at 2:41 PM +0200, "Stephen VK3SIR" <vk3...@hotmail.com> wrote: Patrick, It is F5CT in JN08.

I have just done the polite thing and reported observations - though I suspect WSJT-X behaviour is more than valid. I have reported this just in case its not occurring by design as that can lead to problems later down the track :-) [ Yet WSJT-X will also pick up the very common station D1DX - that is not a recognised DXCC entity ... I am not buying into that argument !!! ]. There has been a lot of changes in postfixing and a growth of "prefix-x" and "prefix-xx" template calls of late (including here in VK where prefix-X will become available for Club/Contest stations for 12 months max only). This observation may offer some forewarning (if required) ... I was in the midst of working a frenzy of EU contacts on 30m late this afternoon when PM's (i.e. mostly Skype) went nuts at people trying to get this supposed "Moroccan" station and could not get WSJT-X to pick up the call. It is not a false decode as it was seen a number of times (i.e. around 10 from my log). Morocco is rare and highly desirable in these parts. I verified this behaviour myself. I also run JTAlert ... and even that would not allow one to notionally grab "5CT" ... The JN0 is obviously a truncation and roughly translates to the region - and I STATE ROUGHLY (but not perfectly); that significantly tips evidence in the direction that you are suggesting ! So yes I have doubt too and had doubt before posting ! My concern more the fact that it could not be picked up in any shape or form and responded to that prompted the post ... and also the knowledge of what I have posted in the 3rd sentence here ! 73 Steve I VK3VM / VK3SIR -----Original Message----- From: 5p1kzx Michael <5p1...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, 18 August 2020 5:35 PM To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] r2.2.2 Minor Issue with "short" calls that use DX Hi Steve I don't think that 5CT is a valid callsign.
