No, it's not a failure of the mode, but a question of personal ethics. Other
ops have theirs, I have mine.

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.
