Glenn, 

As propagation normally is a very local phenomena you will never know what is 
"harmful" for your transmission. You will never know what the DX, on the other 
side, will hear, nor will you be able to hear all stations on "your" frequency 
(or any frequency) that might be hurting the receive of your signals. Let the 
program do its job and you'll work more!

73 + GL!

Ämne: [wsjt-devel] Enhancement suggestion - 30 second cycles

Good Day,

FT8/4 enhancement suggestion follows.

(I know that stable code can be broken by side effects and "better is the enemy 
of good enough".)

For example, with FT8, instead of having two 15 second transmission cycles per 
minute, it would be nice to have the option of ONE 15 second cycle per minute. 
Leave the other usual 15 second transmission period in receive as a way to 
monitor whether I am transmitting in a clear slot. 
This mode would be selectable with a radio button for "30" or "15".  Or call it 
"Monitor on".  Once a QSO is locked in, revert automatically to two 15 second 
transmissions per minute in order to finish the QSO at the normal rate before 
the propagation changes.  I find that when the band is highly active, after a 
couple of my transmissions someone has moved into my slot. For DX that means my 
attempts to establish interest in my call sign can be smothered by another 
station and I have to stop, wait
30 seconds to see if my slot is clear, and restart or move first, all done 
manually.
