Locked 3D2CR - odd 'Fox' behaviour #FoxAndHound

Martin G0HDB <marting0hdb@...>
 

3D2CR is currently QRV from Conway Reef, which is a pretty difficult DXCC entity to work from here in the UK.

I received a tip-off at approx 0730z today (Sun 19th Sept) that 3D2CR was operating as a DXpedition-mode 'Fox' on 18095kHz so I took a look and sure enough I was getting reasonable copy so I selected my FT8 'Hound' configuration and gave a call (above 1000Hz of course!).  I eventually got a call from 3D2CR who gave me a report of -08; my system responded accordingly by QSY'ing my Tx cursor down onto the Fox's frequency (around 300Hz IIRC) and sending a report of R-14.  I then expected to receive either an RR73 from the 3D2CR Fox or a repeat of my report but I copied neither, despite me copying other transmissions from 3D2CR.

My system then QSY'ed my Tx frequency up by 300Hz and continued re-sending my report of -14 until everything timed out; at no point did the 3D2CR Fox either re-send my report of -08 or send me an RR73.

I continued watching the activity and could see that the same thing was happening with many other Hound callers - the 3D2CR Fox would send an initial report to a Hound but would then fail to either re-send the report or to send an RR73 to indicate the QSO exchanges had been successfully completed.  I saw the 3D2CR Fox send very few RR73s - I would guess to maybe 1 in10 Hounds.

Interestingly, a few minutes after my apparent QSO with 3D2CR on 17m I managed to work them on 20m; in this QSO the sequencing worked exactly as expected both for me and for several other Hounds who I could copy sending their reports to the 3D2CR Fox - we all received an RR73 from the Fox.

Can the development team suggest why the 3D2CR Fox operation on 17m didn't appear to send either a repeat of a Hound's report or the final RR73 - could the Fox's failure to send either a repeat report or an RR73 to a Hound be caused by the 17m Fox operator perhaps logging QSOs before they'd run through the complete sequence, in an attempt to maximise the QSO rate?

TIA

I have installed everything,but how do i put the country name beside call and grid?

Hi Guy,

WSJT-X does that for you, if you mean country names presented in the Band Activity window. That information is included in the program and is based on the call prefix with exceptions. That information is also in a cty.dat file, if present in the log directory, see User Guide 11. Logging, fourth paragraph.

You need to tick in Settings – General the Show DXCC, grid, and worked-before status and un-tick the Show principal prefix instead of country name

Hi Mike,
I wanted to take this opportunity to report Hamlib Frequency Error in Split mode with the Yaesu FT991 transceiver.
Probably the Hamlib library has been configured for the more recent FT991A which ,from tests carried out ,seems to work regularly.
Currently, to partially allow me to operate in Split, i have temporarly configured wsjt as FT891.
Hope the library will be updated in the future. 
 
 Tnx.

I just updated the software for the radio.  I do now see where the settings are preinstalled to the radio for FT8. Thanks!

Thank you Ray and Mike. I turned down the ACC/USB AF Output Level and at 20% the Receiving graph on WSJT-X is now in the green.
Be sure and read the procedure for properly setting your audio levels for WSJT-X. Just getting into the green isn’t the optimum setting. Read the part about 30db of noise and how to adjusts input level for that reading.

It's not clear (to me!) just what settings you're looking for, but Yaesu released a rig firmware update: "The [PRESET] Function has been newly added to the MODE screen to quickly facilitate "FT8" operation."

Hi Dave,

OK, so your PTT is being controlled by the SignaLink USB using its internal digital audio VOX circuit. That means there are two possibilities for the issue of the PTT hanging you are reporting. Firstly it may be a problem between the SignaLink USB and the radio that is causing the PTT line to latch up, secondly it may be due to unexpected audio going to the soundcard in the SignaLink USB. I can be fairly certain that the only digital audio going to the SignaLink USB is the normal FT8 (or whichever mode you are using) at the expected times, from WSJT-X. One caveat is that no other software should be sending audio to that soundcard, e.g. system sounds, i.e. the SignaLink USB must not be the system default soundcard. To take the first possibility further you may be better pursuing on a SignaLink specific forum, or maybe one related to running AFSK digital modes on your rig.

Hi Dave,

you have a CAT connection to your rig. Is the only connection you have
via the SignaLink USB interface?

The best lightning protection I have found to date for my home station
is disconnecting the transmission line and placing the end outside of
the house. Also the power is disconnected from the radios and acces-
sories. Trying to turn the exterior of the home into a sub microOhm
shunt for Millions of Volts at hundreds of thousands of amperes is sim-
ply not in my budget.

That does not mean I ignore local code nor ignore good practices that
are financially practical.

The only way to do this unfortunately is to run a large gauge wire
minimum 6AWG and preferably 2AWG around the outside of the house.

There is more to bonding than that done for the power system, and yes,
bonding of driven rods is best done outside the building. Bonding must
also be done within the shack -- every piece of gear that is part of the
station must have its chassis bonded together by short, fat copper, and
a common connection of those bonds must go to the collection of building
grounds. Usually the best place to take the shack ground to earth is as
close as possible to the operating desk. That bonding inside the shack
contributes both to lightning protection and hum, buzz, and RFI.

It has been correctly observed that grounding and bonding of power
systems varies from one continent to another, and sometimes from one
country to another. The advice that professionals in the US are offering
here are applicable in nearly all of North America.

The second edition of N0AX's ARRL book on Grounding and Bonding has just
been published. Ward is an excellent engineer and a great technical
writer. As one of those who worked with him on it, I know and respect
the qualifications of others who did, and strongly recommend it.

Fake It or Rig Split will solve filter problems.

Hi all,
I was a bit quick to say that my set up was working just fine.

I am receiving decodes and WSJTx is operating the PTT in the IC-7200. The Power meter in the radio and also an external power meter are showing RF going to the antenna, but I am not able to make contact with anyone after many tries and also many CQ calls.
I selected WSPR and tried that mode, but no reception or tx signals appeared on PSKReporter.

Can anyone shed some light on what might be the problem?

hamspots.net shows you were getting out but you might just be having a bad day on 40M.  Only shows local countries for you.

What kind of power are you showing and what's your antenna?
Also....what does your ALC show?

What exactly is your power meter doing? What makes you think it is RF instead of a setting on your radio or WSJT-x. Are you showing any power out? Fluctuating power. What is the reading of the ALC meter? SWR meter. Need more info please
