Re: WSJT-X to N3FJP AC Log Interface
Personally I choose to run N3FJP ACL independently of WSJT-X (and of fldigi too). It’s little effort to type in the log entry, and it increases the sense of actively operating my station. Also, I’d rather spend my time on other projects than installing
even more shack software. I confess that I began with pen and paper logbooks in 1970. But with 7000+ FT8 QSOs I haven’t tired of manual logging yet.

We should walk in the shoes of (all) of the developers before we criticize. 73 -Jim NU0C

They both make valid points and are really saying pretty much the same thing. Which is OK. There are always workarounds. Personally, I don't like bridge programs. But others do and that is a good alternative for them. I have always run WSJT-X under Linux. It happily talks to SpotCollector running on a Win7 box. The W3DJS Python script runs quietly in the background on the Linux machine and just does its job. I have tested it both talking to ACL on the Win7 box and ACL under WinXP running in a VM on the Linux machine. There are many ways to handle this. 73 -Jim NU0C

Scott has the typical "not invented here" syndrome.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The WSJT-X developers have chosen to develop/support a generic UDP broadcast format that is supported by *several* logging programs. If Scott chooses not to support that interface already used by multiple applications, that is between him and his users. There is/should be no expectation that the WSJTX developers will write a unique interface to support Scott's proprietary API. If you need something that supports Scott's API, use JT-Alert. If you want avoid JT-Alert, tell Scott to get with the program. 73, ... Joe, W4TV

Re: FT8 Logging Problem!
I wondered why people didn't use the "proper sequence". I like to plot my contacts on a map - I use an API available from DxAtlas, and the centre of a prefix area is not good enough. I also download contact details from eQSL and LotW which a lot of times updates gridsquares to the 6 character version. 73 Phil GM3ZZA

if you would rather not use jtalert, then gridtracker will listen on a udp port, and log to a few different logging programs, as selected. just another option for you Dave Garber VE3WEJ / VE3IE

Brian, That was from a Space-X launch today. Actually, it's a drifting carrier detected on the WSJTX Waterfall. You'll see that often on various Bands. Also, you can often see a straight vertical line from a solid carrier or an interrupted one from CW. 73, Bob K8BL

Re: FT4 Freq for 15M

What is the FT4 frequency for 15 meter band? Is it 21,140 kHz?Hi Dave, that is the FT4 working frequency suggestion provided with WSJT-X, if your WSJT-X application and rig are not switching to that frequency when switching to 15m in FT4 mode then you may need to reset the "Settings->Frequencies->Working Frequencies" table by right-clicking the table body and selecting "Reset". Of course you are also free to add one or more other working frequencies to that table, for example if contest organizers recommend them, or simply if you find FT4 activity elsewhere and want those frequencies easily selectable from the WSJT-X main window. The normal rules apply, you may operate on any free frequency within your local band plan recommendations for narrow band digital modes. 73 Bill G4WJS.

That would be an unnecessary drain on our resources, particularly where those applications do not run on all the platforms that WSJT-X is supported on. Instead we provide a documented protocol that other applications can interoperate with, that protocol provides more than just logged QSO details, it also provides near real-time information of decodes printed, and the status of the WSJT-X user interface. It also provides messages for external applications to initiate QSOs, highlight text in the WSJT-X Band Activity window, and change some user interface controls in WSJT-X. The protocol, when implemented properly, also allows multiple applications to interoperate with any number of WSJT-X instances, all running concurrently. Where the authors of logging, or other third party applications, do not have the inclination or resources to implement the WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol then there is space for other developers to implement bridging applications to fill that gap. An excellent example of that, although not the only one, is the JTAlert application by Laurie, VK3AMA. So that begs the question: what is wrong with the use of JTAlert to bridge between WSJT-X and AC Log, and have you asked Laurie if such deficiencies can be addressed within JTAlert? 73 Bill G4WJS.

Re: WSJT-X to N3FJP AC Log Interface
That would be nice but I would understand if Scott does not add this. He already has a perfectly functional API system, the WSJT-X developers just choose not to support it. Only intensive lobbying by ACL users seems likely to change this and with most ops stuck on JTAlert this has not been happening.
An alternative is to use the Python script created by W3DJS, https://github.com/dslotter/wsjtx_to_n3fjp/ . It works great talking cross platform from Linux to Windows, but of course Windows only users would need to install Python. https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ 73 -Jim NU0C On Sun, 10 May 2020 11:41:38 -0400 "Joe Subich, W4TV" <lists@...> wrote: That's something Scott would need to do.

Hi Steve, Sending message 2 as the first message does not indicate a contest mode at all. Those users just want to save one timeslot. Reino OH3mA
From: WSJTX@groups.io [mailto:WSJTX@groups.io] On Behalf Of Steve Kavanagh via groups.io
I had one case where a station (not in contest mode) called me using message 2, so he never sent his grid. As I understand it, WSJT-X is supposed to switch the non-contest-mode station into contest mode when a contest-mode exchange is received, but this combination of events didn't produce a valid contest QSO. Not sure if there is a software fix.
