Hi Mike,

that doesn't really sit well with the fire and forget nature of UDP 
messages. Once you start adding conversational protocols you might as 
well use TCP/IP but that requires asynchronous processing or threads and 
a whole lot of state for each "client". The current UDP message 
infrastructure in WSJT-X is stateless at the connection level and 
synchronous, very simple and no waiting for network replies.
