Jeff,

As Joe already pointed you cannot send two messages in a single timeslot!

It is another issue that there are also messages that contain information to 
two users such as:

TU; K1ABC W9XYZ 579 WI in RTTY RU or K1ABC RR73; W9XYZ <KH1/KH7Z> -08 in 
DXpedition messages.

73, Reino OH3mA

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] What percentage of bits need to be decoded correctly?

 

Hello all,

 

FT8 in this instance.  The cases where this may matter

   - cq started, but notice another station I want to tail end...so double 
click the call in mid TX?... or have to wait for end transmission?

   - 73 in progress and want to set up for next station, can I double click 
next call while 73 in progress?

   - if the signals are very strong, can I end the 73 early and expect it to be 
received, while maybe getting the call to next station in the same Tx cycle?

 

The questions are not answered by BER vs probability of decode graphs because 
they involve software states.

 

Joe's point about setting up my own test is a good one...but a few questions to 
define the boundaries of test seem reasonable.

Hi Jeff

 

Which mode are you asking about?

Hello all,

 

What percentage of bits are needed to produce a valid decode? I'm asking 
because sometimes I may start a transmit session some seconds late.

 

Does it make a difference if the transmission is not started (Rx gets noise) vs 
started but changes message partway through?  Sometimes I may double click a 
call some seconds after a CQ is started.

 

As an aside, I've noticed that my new very fast PC gets the decodes done much 
quicker and there is more time to view, think, and then select the transmit 
message.

 

Not for the werid question...  If the signals are very strong, can I send RR73 
for the first half of the message and the initial message for the next contact 
in the same cycle?  In other words, is it theoretically possible to work two 
stations at once?

 

A variation on the last question, if signal are strong (BER is low) and the tx 
message changes halfway through, will the receiver decode both messages?
