I guess everyone has their prejudices...

suit yourself, but then why ask others

to duplicate what you refuse to use?

I don't know what version of WSJT-X you

are using, but mine clearly shows all directional

and special calls in the decode ... today happens

to be the Rtty roundUp so a lot of them have

that, but DX or EU or MT or any other indicator

for directional calls shows right there ... how

can you miss it if you are double-clicking on it?

 

 

doesn't your display show those?

not his, unless you let your call go longer

than about 6 seconds.

it's hard to understand why it would not

show, since it is part of the sent message.
