My situation highlights that WSJT-X automatically enables transmit and performs 
unattended operation if a remote station is in Hound mode and a Fox targets 
you. Given we have pskreporter.info <http://pskreporter.info/> and other tools 
quickly identify who hears who, this capability is open to abuse.
