Actually, NO.

I've asked stupid questions on here, been pointed at the answer
elsewhere and regretted my lack of "go find it".

What I can say is I didn't make my questions into a boxed set, to be
enjoyed for a whole season.

If you've nothing better to do it may be a distraction but this forum
is purposed for "WSJT Software development"

WSJT software allows us all to use some extremely clever turnkey
signal processing software to make contacts on almost every band with
potentially minimal equipment. It does however still require operators
to have a tad more than minimal "pizzaz!"

A while back I saw CQs from (bogus) T3ST (bogus) - I'm sure I could
have complained here "why did I see this?" and who could have known
this was BOGUS (bogus callsign) BOGUS.Β  T3ST? who could have guessed?
BOGUS

So, if you are operating CW or SSB or AM or FM or RTTY or anything
else, and you hear a BOGUS (bogus) callsign, please don't expect your
morse key, or electronic keyer, or balanced modulator, or any other
modulator, to remove from you the need to identify the callsign as
BOGUS (bogus) or prevent you from replying.

WSJT software in conjunction with PSKReporter has revolutionised our
view of LF, VHF and UHF propagation. I worked Falklands on top band!
My neighbour was able to record transmissions from D4VHF Cape Verde on
2M for almost every day in June, a path length equivalent to Europe -
North America. I personally worked D4VHF on 70cm twice in July.
Transatlantic path length on 70cm??? Really?

Let's keep this channel open and clear for input to the software
development team for that purpose - software development, also keep in
mind WSJT software has a specific purpose and is not intended to be a
"go everywhere, do everything" answer for every possible scenario you
might experience. Licensed operator is still required.

Maybe a lot of these posts might be better sent to a WSJT user forum,
where operators can exchange experiences and gain understanding.

So,Β  I echo the OMs intention, let's rejoice in asking questions, but
please re-consider the bandwidth you are occupying, is it appropriate
or perhaps better elsewhere?

My 2p worth

I find the discussion interesting.

    Good grief!Β  Can this thread not die?Β  If you don’t know the call
    and it looks bogus (yes it does) why are you even looking at it?Β 
    Dimiss it and move on. There is supposed to be an operator at the
    keyboard to interpret these things.
