Which is why I do not enable the text message capability in JT-Alert
or EME operators do not use Ping Jockey, etc. during a schedule.

That is *not* a failure of the mode - be it CW, JT65, JT9, FT8, PSK31,
RTTY or whatever.

Actually, I was in the process of learning about JT65 by doing some listening tests when FT8 was added to the suite.  So I took it up almost immediately after it was introduced.  I think I was up to about 80 "contacts" when someone on the WSJT-X Yahoo group suggested that JTAlert was a great thing to have.  I wasn't quite sure why, but I installed anyway.

The setup in my shack has a laptop on a shelf above a larger monitor on the operating desk. Normally, the log is on the laptop and everything else is below using Windows split screen.  I was trying to work a west African station and we were part way through the QSO when it became clear I was getting QRMed each time I (my computer) sent a report. After several sequences I saw a brief flash of a window popping up but straddling both screens so I didn't quite understand what it was.  A few seconds later it happened again but this time I got the gist of what it was. JTAlert was informing me that my QSO partner was/had been sending me a text message informing me that he had my report and I should be sending RRR.  At that point I stopped transmitting and unloaded the software.  Nuff said.
