Thanks Peter. I tried WSPR and FST4W, but didn't decode. I may not have 
had the parameters right for FST4W -- I'll try again tonight. He had a 
pretty good signal 800 miles down the coast from him.

Hi Jim,
 on his web site he has an article about "Beacon Blaster" at this URL:
http://wb6cxc.com/?p=451
"FST4W-120 on Ten Bands Simultaneously" seems to roughly match up with the
freq you mentioned (depending on what Sideband you were using to read the
CW)

[wsjt-devel] WSOT ???

[Jim B. <k9...@au...>]

WB6CXC was on about 1836.5 transmitting about two minutes of narrowband 
modulated something, followed by a CW ID -- WSOT WB6CXC, then repeating, 
with no pause to listen. Anyone know what he's up to?  He's a retired 
EE, and his blog  www.wb6cxc.com has a lot of very interesting stuff on it.

[wsjt-devel] RIG status on PSK reporter

[Marco C. <PY...@ou...>]

Hi all!

Maybe this message should go to the Hamlib development group, I don't 
know...

I'm using WSJT-X with radio settings set to Hamlib NET rigctl.

On PSK reporter details of my call-sign I don't see my real rig model, I 
see exactly Hamlib NET rigctl.



Is there a way to change this? I mean independently by using Hamlib or a 
radio directly, on PSK reporter always get the real radio used to transmit?

Hope I1ve been clear enough.

Many thanks!

Hi,
If there are COM3 or COM5 ports, try those.

[wsjt-devel] Nit Pick

[Marty W. <mcw...@co...>]

I know this is just a it pick, but the “OK” button in the Log QSO window used to be colored (Dark I think) when the required info for the QSO was entered.  On my MacBook Pro, it is grayed out.  It still logs the data when pressed.  Is this a Mac issue, a WSJTx issue or my issue?

Re: [wsjt-devel] Hamlib

[Charles S. <g3...@gm...>]

Hi Malcolm

Great that you have it working again.

Please now contact the Hamlib developers with the details of the problem
you had and details of your setup, and how you fixed the problem.  By doing
this, hopefully the problem can be fixed so you (and others) won't face the
same problem in future releases.

Hamlib is a live project, so it is always possible that some issue that
affected your rig has crept in over time.

They can be contacted using this mailing list:

Re: [wsjt-devel] Hamlib

[Charles S. <g3...@gm...>]

Hi Malcolm

If you mean this file  libhamlib-4.dll (in the 2.8.1 bin folder) then a
first step is to rename that to something else and then copy/paste the file
with the same name in your 2.2.1 bin folder  into the 2.8.1 bin folder.

If this works, please let us know.

I am not absolutely certain if  2.2.1 will have that file, so please check
first before doing anything else.

What rig do you have?

I just downloaded 2.8.1 from 2.2.1 and I am getting an error message for Hamlib.  It is a very long message that lists all of the things it controls.  I see the dll file in the WSJT folder, but unaware what to do to fix the error.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Q65B signal below decode - real or imagined ?

[Charles S. <g3...@gm...>]

Hi Nic

I guess you are referring to the DT value on the widegraph.  A value is
printed to the screen after each decode period.  On noise, or a signal too
weak to gain sync from, the value will be random (within certain limits).

If the signal is strong enough to gain sync, but not decode, then the value
should correspond within about 0.1s to EME delay + any receiver latency
(assuming PC clocks are correct both ends).

Have you tried using the Q65_sync plot on the widegraph?  This can also be
used as an indication that a signal may be present, although it does also
show up birdies to some extent.

[wsjt-devel] Q65B signal below decode - real or imagined ?

[Nic S. <nic...@ta...>]

Hi Nic G3YEG here, qrp 432Mhz EME station.

With my very small system I have now managed to successfully decode 37 different stations and estimate that without faraday intervention I have a high probability of decoding any EME station running more than 30Kw ERP.

Over the years, like many other stations, I often see valid DT values before a full decode.

What I have also noted is that quite often I will see repeated similar “odd” but not correct DT values when on the correct tx period from stations. 

My question is this - is this a real observation of the stations signal due to the nature of the Q65B signal or is it my imagination?

My set up is not that sophisticated (9700 with sp70 lna , short cables and 9 ele in loft space) but i use the very latest wsjt, new laptop with i7 and 32gb memory. I always re run files using single decode together with  a sliding window technique moving the qrg to find signals with ftol set at 50hz

Thanks in anticipation of ideas / explanations.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Contest Logging

Marty,

As any digital QSO is accepted only once, then there is no need to check in the Colors window the ‘Highlight by Mode’. Any mode FT4, FT8, Q65 etc. in wsjt-x will be recorded as digital and will be show as a worked before station (green coloring on CQ line, when default colors are used).

Re: [wsjt-devel] Contest Logging

[Marty W. <mcw...@co...>]

I mis-spoke,  The FD logging doesn’t differentiate between working a station on FT-8 AND FT-4.  It will be logged in both cases as a digital contact and will be declared as a dupe.  Will un-checking that box make a contact appear as worked before in the log wether contact is made in FT-8 or FT-4 so as not to work that station again?

[wsjt-devel] Contest Logging

[Marty W. <mcw...@co...>]

I have a question about contest logging, specifically Field Day digital logging.

When operating on say 10 meters and “Highlight by Mode” is checked, that appears as two separate contacts in the WSJTx log.  In the FD log however, it is recorded as a duplicate contact because they only log contacts as Digital not as digital TX even or 1st.  Will un-checking that box make a contact appear as worked before in the log wether contact is made in TX even or 1st mode so as not to work that station again?

I hope you understand my question.

The band activity window is a displayText class

From V2.7 displaytext.cpp Lines 39 & 40:-

      // max lines to limit heap usage
      document ()->setMaximumBlockCount (5000);

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJTX Scroll Back Amount..

[Rick E. <ric...@ou...>]

Hi Reino..
The connection doesn't go threw Its just a waste of the operators time.
Right now they can choose in  10 item increments up to 50 but they really want a longer buffer to work some of the older mults that pop up..

Hi Rick,
Of course, you or somebody else could study the source code and find out the length of the Band Activity buffer, but I have a feeling that it is much longer than any typical contest operation is needing. Unfortunately, my remote connection to my recording rig is currently broken and I cannot see how long it can be in practice. I am not sure whether the length also depends on the ‘Start new period decodes at top’ setting.
What happens, when you N1MM tries to call a too old line in the Band Activity window?

No that won't work. When N1MM sends a message to WSJTX the call and data string must match a listing in the Band Activity window. So I need to know how much the buffer holds to make sure the Call and Data String are available in that window to call a station.

Everything is available in the all.txt file found by selecting <file><open log directory> in WSJTX
If what you seek is not viewable in the band activity window, you'll have to look there.
