Yes, this happens sometimes. Often I can hear them working someone else, someone rarer than me. It's hard to hide on FT. And often they come back to try to complete the QSO with me. Whether I do or no

#QSO_practices

Nice! Tnx & 73,Ken, AB1J

#reception

I always operate FT modes in FD and all my contacts have always been in the normal FT sub-bands. There may be activity elsewhere, but I kind of doubt it. 73, Ken, AB1J

#frequency

Joe says use NA VHF. This will send the CQ message CQ TEST I think you could also use WW Digi, but that sends CQ WW 73,Ken, AB1J

#ContestMode

I was on 15m CW yesterday afternoon getting ready for the CQ-WPX-CW. It occurred to me that FT modes need some kind of "dit dit" to indicate the end of a QSO. It would be a specially coded transmissio

#EnhancementReqest

Set our dial frequency to the bottom of the segments, just as you normally do. Almost all the activity will occur in the bottom 3 kHz of any band segment. I've never seen an FT contest where the whole

#WSJTX_config #ContestMode

In FT4 mode WSJT-X has an option: "Best S+P" From the WSJT-X manual: Clicking Best S+P during an Rx cycle arms the program to examine all CQ messages decoded at the end of the Rx sequence. The program

Am I missing something here? When I delete files from my normal WSJT-X folder (like old ALL.TXT files) on my main hard drive they go into my Recycle Bin and can be restored. I just now tested it to be

The Grid and Prefix Awards accept qrz.com log confirmations, along with paper QSLs, LoTW, HRD log, ClubLog and eQSL. From their rules: - All QSOs or SWL must be confirmed either by QSL card, LoTW , QR

#adiFiles

Not necessarily. I've had many QSOs where I didn't receive an RR73 or RRR (the other station may have sent it, but I didn't copy it: QSB, QRM) and the station went on to work someone else. Then I have

#QSO_practices

Yes, and many times I'd like a count of 3. 73, Ken, AB1J

#general

Shortening the time doesn't always work since you can't specify fractions of minutes, like 3.5. I would prefer a count, but a choice of either would be best. 73, Ken, AB1J

#general

Correction: TimeFudge is for those times when a station I am trying to work has a clock that's way off. When a station approaches a DT of 2.0, I may not be able to work him regardless of what the spec

Hi Mike, After I adjust the time with TimeFudge, how long is the adjustment maintained? Will it last though the next time update from my time setting ap? (Dim4 in my case on this computer or Meinberg

This is okay if it's an option, which is what Ellis suggested. Otherwise, one should be allowed to transmit anywhere your governmental rules allow. The existing bands have no official status. And DXpe

Hi Reino, I have no disagreement with what you said, but in real life it would be nice to have something clearer and automatic. The special frequency user should announce their protocol, but they seld

You wrote: I have worked many/all of the DXeditions running MSHV multi-stream using WSJTX on the "normal" frequencies while using the WSJTX standard mode. So have I and many others, too. That's the no

#FoxAndHound

It would really be nice if we had a way to quickly tell whether it's a WSKT-X F/H or MSHV multi-channel. I've always thought a simple way to tell would be for MSHV to transmit on odd slots (15 or 45 s

I have very good luck calling CQ below 500 Hz and above 2500 Hz when bands, especially 20m and 40m, are congested. About half of those calling me are in the central part of the band and operating spli

I just (2335z) worked K55Z, DM93, on 40m FT8. I assume this is a typo but I'm too lazy to do the investigative work (had a big dental procedure today). So I'm hoping whoever it is reads this and makes
