Re: [wsjt-devel] Decoded Text Font

2014-09-18 Thread Eric NO3M

Interesting seems like *any* (not exhaustively tested) Bold font
works... hadn't really tried any bold styling previously as I generally
don't care for all bold text.  Using Monospace 8 Bold now; I'll continue
to use it until a more universal fix is coded for all styling.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 1.5-Dev r4966 Font Issues ( Linux)

2015-02-16 Thread Eric NO3M
If the issue originally reported last year was not directly addressed, 
then perhaps by selection of font, descender characters have been 
rendering correctly here.  I have Monospace Bold 8 set as the Decoded 
text font and Sans Regular 8 as the program font.  This is with 
1.5.0-devel r 4964 on Archlinux.  It has been a long time since I 
adjusted fonts, and therefore don't remember if this rendering problem 
was fixed by way of font selection or by some code revision along the 
way

Re: [wsjt-devel] Enhancement request

2015-03-05 Thread Eric NO3M

I ran into a similar situation with the following message:

CQ NO3M DX

to keep stateside callers from answering.  I had assumed the "CQ" would 
have been picked up and TX Enable persist after each invocation.  
However, that was not the case.  I saw other DX stations at the time 
using the same format of message and wonder how they are doing so 
without re-enabling the Enable TX each time; perhaps something JT-Alert 
does for them?  Of course, JT-Alert is not able to run on *nix, so 
that's not an option here.


It would be nice to be able to send a "recognized" CQ that will keep the 
locals from dampening a DX "run".

When sending a custom CQ call, the 'enable tx' goes off after the

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR mode in WSJT-X v1.6.1

2015-05-11 Thread Eric NO3M
Joe

I have been running WSJT-X 1.6.x in WSPR mode on 630M (WG2XJM) for the 
past couple of nights, and seems to work fine, nothing particularly 
unexpected, just not many guys to decode as most are off the air due to 
storms in the mid-west, etc.  I did capture WH2XGP (W7IUV) in WA last night.

I also had the software monitoring 20M WSPR during the day while an 
instance of WSPR4 was running, both processing audio from the same 
soundcard.  The C decoder seemed to decode more stations on average than 
the WSPR4 decoder, with only a few not decoded that WSPR4 picked up.  I 
did notice some odd SNR results though.  During a particular cycle, all 
station SNRs in WSJT-X would be consistently 9-11 dB higher than WSPR4, 
but the following cycles be within a dB or so.  Seems this behavior was 
near the first full cycle after startup or thereabouts.  I don't recall 
if any later cycles produced that same abnormal SNRs.

Notice when the program finally goes into transmit (clicking Enable TX),

[wsjt-devel] WSPR2 TX problem

2015-05-27 Thread Eric NO3M
Appears the problem is stemming from mainwindow.cpp, start line +1849 
(MainWindow::guiUpdate()):

   if((m_auto and (m_pctx>0) and (m_txNext or ((m_nrx<=0) and
(m_ntr!=-1 or ((m_auto and (m_pctx==100 {

some condition is failing to satisfy the above, so a TX cycle is never 
entered.   m_nrx is continuously decrementing (Status bar showing 
"Receiving -2586" after a while).  Since:

  m_auto and (m_pctx==100)

look to be grouped exclusive of the rest of the conditional, perhaps 
m_auto is perpetually false, because m_pctx has been set to 100 in my 
running instance and a TX cycle still never fires off.  Haven't traced 
out all the instances of m_auto to see where it is being set true/false yet.

BTW, this is with the latest SVN on the main dev branch since the _exp 
branch was merged per Bills' post.

Thanks for the info wrt band hopping; glad you were at least able to 
reproduce/confirm the issue.  I'll try the temp workaround when going 
QRV on 630M later.

Yes, there are a number of stations currently running WSPR-15.  In fact, 
a station in AK (WE2XPQ / KL7L) has been running it for the past several 
nights and there are also various stations in EU that have run it 
recently.  It would be a welcomed addition to WSJT-X - WSPR (or 
considering WSJT-X is absorbing WSPR-X, a retained mode).

Enabling band hopping gets Tx rolling, but as someone pointed out in

I never use band-hopping in normal operation, only run WSPR on 630M, so 
unfamiliar w/ the band-hopping caveats (yes, RTFM... ).

Re: [wsjt-devel] wspr hopping

2015-06-01 Thread Eric NO3M
This was sent before other replies by Joe, Steven, et.al.  My Emails to 
the list seem to be experiencing gross delays.

At any rate, testing with r5485 now and seems to meet the Tx Pct 
criteria (non band-hopping), though there are a several cases with 
consecutive Tx cycles.  I usually re-compile against the latest SVN 
updates before firing up each night.  The previous report on behavior 
was using r5482 if I recall.

In reply to Joe's response about algorithm's, it seems that the Tx 
decision making in WSPR4 works quite well.  That's what I have been 
running exclusively until WSPR was added to WSJT-X / exp.  I don't 
recall having ever seen consecutive TX cycles using WSPR4 (not that it 
probably never happened).  However, I don't know whether or not it 
conforms to the set Tx Pct statistically over time as tightly as 
WSJT-X/wspr seems to be doing now.  Consecutive TX cycles are probably 
not a big deal, but not having consecutive cycles made it easier on the 
linear :)  It also seems that WSJT-X/wspr is acting in a more random 
manner, which in the big picture is probably more desirable.

Re: [wsjt-devel] New WSPR scheduler

2015-06-10 Thread Eric NO3M
Having problems with WSPR2 TX here.

WSJTX 1.6.0-devel r5578 (same problems with r5567 also before doing SVN 
update/re-compile)
Band: 630m
Tx 1575 Hz
Tx Pct 33%
Upload Spots = true
Band Hopping = false

As soon as I click Tx Enable, regardless of how far into a 2-minute 
period it is clicked, WSJTX immediately starts transmitting the WSPR 
message.  After the current 2-minute period is over (odd-minute:52), 
audio ceases but the status on the lower left of the main window remains 
"Tx: WG2XJM EN91 37" indefinitely and the program never goes back to 
"Monitor" nor produces any further real transmissions (ie. audio).

An additional note...

Clicking "Tx Enable" from an off (false) state will start a WSPR2 
transmission at any point in time during the current 2-minute cycle (per 
status bar "Tx: ."), but only audio is produced if the Tx Enable is 
clicked prior to ODD_MIN:30 (ie. 30 seconds into the odd minute).

The program even goes into transmission (again, per status bar message 
in lower left), but with no audio, between odd:52 and odd:59 and stays 
stuck in limbo forever (never goes back to Monitor nor produces a real 
transmission)!!

Again, just tested w/ r5578

Re: [wsjt-devel] New WSPR scheduler

2015-06-10 Thread Eric NO3M
Joe, Steve, et.al.

Yes, I was engaging Tune prior to clicking "Tx Enable", generally to 
make sure the match on my 630M antenna is alright (very narrow 
bandwidth) and that output power is correct for 5W EIRP.  It is such a 
habit that apparently I do it everytime I start WSJT-X!

I restarted WSJT-X and did NOT engage Tune prior to clicking "Tx 
Enable".  Behavior appears to be normal, a TX cycle with audio fired off 
on the next even minute and returned to Monitor on the following 
2-minute period, after a couple cycles of RX, another TX cycle started 
(with tones), then back to RX.  Exactly the expected behavior.

In each case, same offset and 11-12 dB SNR difference... slick. There 
may have been others, but these are ones I caught.  Of course, numerous

[wsjt-devel] TX Next cutoff time

2015-07-14 Thread Eric NO3M
Re: WSPR mode

"Tx Next" does not seem to trigger a TX period on the upcoming 2-min 
cycle when clicked "close" to the 2-min crossover.  I cannot answer 
exactly when the cutoff point (ie. time to next 2-min crossover) seems 
to happen, as this has only been a casual observation while preparing 
for a transmit session and wanting to get a quick first TX period off.  
Is there an intentional cutoff or is this a bug?

Re: [wsjt-devel] TX Next cutoff time

2015-08-12 Thread Eric NO3M
Joe

After your update to my original post on the mailing list, I had run 
through a set of tests with a freshly started instance of WSJT-X, but 
also could not reproduce the problem, each invocation of 'Tx Next' 
triggered a transmit cycle on the upcoming 2-min period.

However, I have run into the issue several times since then, including 
this evening when queuing up on 630M.  I'll have to perform more tests 
to try and isolate what conditions may be causing this problem, but it 
definitely exists.  When I clicked 'Tx Enable' followed by 'Tx Next' 
this evening, around odd-min:30s, the upcoming 2-min period was an RX 
cycle and the following a TX cycle.

[wsjt-devel] JT9 decode time

2015-11-27 Thread Eric NO3M
Running WSJT-X 1.7.0-devel r6133

In most cases, initial decodes are not displayed until :57, the majority 
between :58-:59, and even some as late as :12 into what should be my 
transmit cycle.  This is really wreaking havoc on the ability to have an 
actual QSO.

Settings

Mode: JT9 only
Decode: Normal
Settings->Advanced
Random erasure pattern = 6 (default)
Two pass decoding = OFF
All experience-based decoding = OFF
Aggressive decoding = 0

An insight appreciated.

Sniffing the traffic sent to wsprnet.org using tcpdump confirms that 
only one spot is sent during a cycle (or in the case of 2316z, two made 
it out).

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT To Do list

2014-03-28 Thread Eric NO3M
Not sure what changes where made to the audio area of WSJT-X in the 
recent past, but it resolved a previous issue of being unable to 
transmit.  Prior to whatever changes were made, I would get buffer 
underruns and segfaults.  I seem to remember having seen some reference 
to things having been moved away from Portaudio to QT-related audio toolkit?

I wonder if the same could be slated for WSPR-X?  I am able to use 
WSPR-2.12 in WINE, but much prefer using WSPR-X with the realtime 
waterfall, etc.  WSPR-X exhibits the same buffer underruns and 
segfaulting as WSJT-X did previously.

Cmake doesn't much care that your Linux is Fedora, and the other guys

Hamlib3, pulaudio, Qt5. i386 stuff for kvasd, etc, etc.

The Package Matrix in the SVN dev-guide is pretty accurate. You could

Perhaps another mode worth trying is WSQ by ZL1BPU: 
http://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/SOFT/WSQ.htm


It is intended for LF/MF, so doppler effects on higher frequencies may 
present issues.  I've tested this mode on 630m with copy still good down 
to -24 to -25 dB.

Hi Edson

Thanks for your answer. Yes I have already considered and even tested 
other digimodes (I am into digimodes for years and do nearly nothing 
else in ham radio, hi hi). I agree with you in that Olivia is by far 
the strongest and most reliable **ragchew mode** available today 
working with relatively weak signals. Therefore Olivia is my favourite 
digimode for most applications. Nevertheless when it comes to 
**really** weak signals, longest distances or low power equipnent/low 
performance antennas it lies behind JT65 by magnitudes. I have tested 
both modes with just a few minutes difference in time last week 
between HB and ZL and JT65 worked with 100% decoding while Oliva 
decoded only a fragment of text from time to time resulting in 
unreadable information. The station in ZL (a colleague of mine) 
engaged a simple 5 meter wire (14 MHz) held up by a fishing rod and a 
KX3 running on internal batteries outdoors near Auckland. We used the 
protocol mentioned for message transmission (every fragment confirmed 
by an RRR with repetition if the RRR could not be received back). 
Perfect copy down to 100 mW of power with just a few repetitions. I 
guess we won't be able find another mode (except QRSS which is 
somewhat uncomfortable) performing this way down to S/N of -23 dB or 
less. So (at least to me) it seems worth some effort to realize 
something like an "SMS-Sender" for hams with an underlying JT65 
transport layer even if the transmission of such an "SMS" takes half 
an hour (I can lean back and eat a donut while transmission is in 
progress J)... And going there (to ZL) would take a lot more of time 
and money J.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR Source Tree Updates - (builds, docs, hamlib, fmt, wspr0 etc)

2014-05-02 Thread Eric NO3M

Greg

The default 600m freq. should be 0.474200.  There are a few experimental 
stations active down there almost every night, including myself.

Hello All,

I started cleaning up the WSPR source tree yesterday. The following is 
a summary things I've done, and things in need of assistance. If 
anyone is looking for things "To-Do", there is plenty here:


**Overall Status**
- WSPR-4.0:. Builds and Runs nicely (Win32 & Linux)
- FMT:.. Builds and Runs nicely (Win32 & LInux)
- WSPR0:. Fails To Build
- WSPR_NoGui.py: .. Fails To Build

**Created Folders**
- wspr/archive (for obsolete items, on hold, unknown status etc)
- wspr/hamlib (for all the Win32/64 dlls / exe and rig list files)
- wspr/doc/{man1} (for docs, and manpages)
- hamlib_rig_numbers needs to stay in /wspr for (*nix), else you wont 
get your pick list
- Added README files to the sub-folders, need one fer the main /wspr 
folder for build instruction.


**Updated**
- Makefile.in, configure.ac ( for Python3 and F2PY3 )
- Updated WSPR.iss for new hamlib location wspr/hamlib
- You should run autoconf before ./configure
- In configure, list out Python and F2PY, for example (x86_64 Ubuntu 
type system):


cd src/wspr
autoconf &&
./configure --with-portaudio-lib-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
--with-portaudio-include-dir=/usr/include \
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 \
F2PY=/usr/local/bin/f2py3

**Things Needing Attention**

** Lib File(s): (*.f90, fftw3, portaudio ) Needs verification
- Need to check libwspr.a include files against WSJT and other apps 
for latest versions


** Autotools Build Ssystem
- The autotools build chain (Makefile.am, configure.ac *.m4) needs to 
be updated


** WSPR0
- Fails to build, PA_undefined errors and a few others
- Looks like a useful tool, just needs a bit of attention
- Maybe we move this to it's own sub-folder && own Makefile.in

** WSPR_NOGUI_PY
- Fails to build, needs updating to Python3 syntax (lots of them)
- I tested it after fixing Syntax, it's not decoding at all.
- Maybe we move this to it's own sub-folder Makefile.in ?

**Documentation* - Lots of To-Do Here*
WSPR_4.0_User_Guide.txt (needs updating / converting to AsciiDoc Format)
WSPR0_Instructions.txt (needs verifying and coversion to AsciiDoc format)
WSPR_4.0_User.docx (needs verifying and/or moved to wspr/archive )
WSPR_Announcement.TXT (Needs added to WSPR Doc Tree and Preserve 
Announcement)

WSPR_Howto_MacOSX (needs updating and addec to WSPR AsciiDoc Files)
WSPR_nogui.txt (needs updaing, converted to AsciiDoc formation and 
added to WSPR docs)
WSPR_QuickStart.txt (Needs updating, converted to AsciiDoc Format and 
added to WSPR docs).


As docs are converted over to AsciiDoc format, we can probably remove 
them, or stick them in /wspr/archive until we're sure nobody is using 
them.


That's all fer Now,

73's
Greg, KI7MT

Re: [wsjt-devel] Tx Audio Glitches (NOT)

2014-05-03 Thread Eric NO3M
I can confirm that that change resolved TX audio issues I had with 
WSJT-X in Linux (Arch).  Works perfectly well now.  WSPR 4.0 is also 
running nicely natively, hadn't tried it before yesterday, but was using 
WSPR 2.12 under Wine prior.  My hope is that WSPR-X will also benefit 
from a similar audio migration, would love to try some WSPR-15 on 630M.  
However, it currently suffers from the same audio buffer underruns that 
I experienced with WSJT-X originally.

Either way, very happy to have WSPR 4.0 and WSJT-X running nicely! 
Thanks Bill and team.

As an off-topic inquiry to Joe.  Have you ever considered implementing 
some kind of diversity reception decoding?  Stereo diversity is often 
used on the lowbands (80m and below) to enhance readability, but as far 
as I know, there are no digital programs that implement the ability to 
utilize stereo diversity channels. Based on my own experience using it 
on 80, 160, 600m, it can really make a difference in CW and SSB, so I 
imagine there could be some benefit for digital reception.  Just 
throwing an idea in the jar.

[wsjt-devel] Decoded Text Font

2014-09-16 Thread Eric NO3M
What font are folks using to prevent the "Q" tail from being cut off in 
the decoded text window?  Have tried numerous, but none seem to resolve 
the problem, and more often than not, the font doesn't get updated in 
the decoded text area, only the field headings.

[wsjt-devel] Callsign hashing issue FST4

2021-05-13 Thread Eric NO3M
Possibly a bug in callsign hashing (FST4), see QSO messages below from 
two different instances of WSJT-X (one pulled from ALL.TXT):


0449  32  0.1 1241 `   NO3M -26
0450 -24  0.1 1223 `  NO3M  R-18
0451  33  0.1 1241 `  W0SD/0  RR73
0452 -22  0.1 1224 `   W0SD/0 73


210513_044900 0.474 Tx FST4 0  0.0 1241  NO3M -26
210513_045000 0.474 Rx FST4   -24  0.1 1223 NO3M  R-18
210513_045100 0.474 Tx FST4 0  0.0 1241 W0SD/0  RR73   <-- 
interestingly, this one resolved

210513_045200 0.474 Rx FST4   -22  0.1 1224 <8Q3BGF/R> W0SD/0 73

N9RU also reported seeing this behavior, with his callsign being hashed 
and unrecognizable from his own running instance of WSJT-X:


0924 -21 0.1 1223 ` <3RXMO/OOL40> W0SD/0 73

but his call resolved fine on my running instances:

0924 -15 0.0 1224 `  W0SD/0 73

My assumption was that only the compound call is hashed, but on any '73' 
or 'RR73' message, the "other" (ie. non-compound call) is being hashed, 
unresolvable to instances where the hashed call is the same as the 
station callsign setting but resolvable in other instances where the 
station call is not that of the hashed callsign.

Thanks for the report.  What version of WSJT-X are you running? Here,

[wsjt-devel] JT9 AP request

2017-10-16 Thread Eric NO3M
630M opened up to some US Amateurs this past weekend.  FT8 may have 
killed JT65 / JT9 for the most part on HF, but down on 630 JT9 is still 
king.  We need to dig deep for weak (5W EIRP) signals amidst harsh 
noise, etc.  I'd like to request that AP ("a priori") be integrated into 
JT9 for additional sensitivity.


Thanks for considering.

Re: [wsjt-devel] JT9 AP request

2017-10-16 Thread Eric NO3M

Joe

Thanks for the information and consideration.  A few more dB would 
certainly go a long way, whatever that may end up being.  I've already 
attempted a QSO with W7IUV in WA that was just past the edge of JT9's 
current capabilities.  We'll eventually make it with some patience on 
the right morning.  There has probably been an equal amount of FT8 and 
JT9 activity on the band to date.


Hope to hear and work you on the band soon.  GL DX.

AP decoding capability is not likely to be added to JT9.  The whole

in JT9.  A much better prospect for use at MF and LF would be a "slow 
FT8" mode with longer transmissions -- say one minute, like JT9.  This 
is eminently feasible and might be implemented at some point.


Such a mode could be interesting for EME, as well -- where people need 
every possible dB of sensitivity but are not always in such a hurry.


We have not forgotten about WSPR-LF, either.  Or, maybe, a QSO mode 
that uses OQPSK and coherent demodulation.


I hope to have a signal of my own on 472 kHz, before too long!

Re: [wsjt-devel] wsprnet abandoned

2019-10-14 Thread Eric NO3M
This kind of ignorant response is frankly infuriating and in itself 
shows why wsprnet.org is going to hell to put it kindly


I am very active in the LF/MF community and WSPR is heavily used for 
propagation studies, realtime band opening indication, etc.  Ask anyone 
in at least the US and VK LF/MF community what they think of wsprnet.org...


There are definitely spots that never make their way to the database, 
numerous in fact.  The poor system performance is a recurring topic in 
the LF/MF chat group.  Almost nightly someone complains about slow 
response or that the database part of the site just simply will not 
load.  You can't definitively say all spots are being imported into the 
database... from the site's vantage point there is no way of knowing 
what is missed due to the site being unreachable when those lost spots 
are coming in.


The "database" part of the site is very often extremely slow to load or 
never loads at all.  Eventually, without fail, on a daily basis, the 
page will fail to load when left open in a browser tab when it attempts 
to auto refresh.


I understand you are not part of the technical team, but perhaps the 
ones responsible can be given the message loud and clear and not 
continue to assume all is fine.  The site (specifically the database 
infrastructure) needs serious intervention.  The folks that are 
responsible for maintaining the site's functional integrity have failed 
miserably.  Time to step up or pass the responsibility on to a competent 
team.

The map issue is explained in the wsprnet org forum with the

Users are managed steadily albeit sometimes slowly as I am probably 
the only user admin doing any work on it at all most of the time.


The other admins focus on keeping the site itself up and running and 
solving the more technical issues.

Since a few months, wsprnet got unreachable for minutes multiple

wsprnet does also regularly lose wspr spots, because it is overloaded.
Since a week now, the map on wsprnet.org <http://wsprnet.org>

The official wsprnet e-mail is refusing e-mails since at least one

Over the past months, there have been countless complaints in the

also offers for donations.
Yet nobody seems to take action.


I ask you to please find somebody who takes care of wsprnet.org

2019-10-14 Thread Eric NO3M

Onno

My frustration is specifically with the seeming unwillingness of the 
admin team to recognize the serious system issues that have plagued the 
site for the last two years (at least).  If this assumption is 
inaccurate, then my apologies, as it is based on the comments made by 
the admin that posted to this list and taken as the position of the rest 
of the admin staff.


Countless offers for help have been made by individuals, either in 
expertise/time or monetary.  It seems at this point a fresh perspective 
and solution is warranted, as the status quo and temporary band-aides 
that have been performed in recent times only alleviates the issues for 
a short period of time.


The rest of my Email just stated observational facts.  At the end of the 
day, I could care less if the site works or not, I still have my own 
spots in the locally running WSJTx to utilize as needed.  But other 
folks use the mass collected data for many purposes and it's become more 
difficult to interact with and acquire that data and parts of the site.


Also, this has nothing to do with the map

When did you last pay for an SLA in relation to wsprnet?

This kind of ignorant response is frankly infuriating and in

to put it kindly

I am very active in the LF/MF community and WSPR is heavily used
for propagation studies, realtime band opening indication, etc. 
Ask anyone in at least the US and VK LF/MF community what they
think of wsprnet.org...

There are definitely spots that never make their way to the
database, numerous in fact.  The poor system performance is a
recurring topic in the LF/MF chat group.  Almost nightly someone
complains about slow response or that the database part of the
site just simply will not load.  You can't definitively say all
spots are being imported into the database... from the site's
vantage point there is no way of knowing what is missed due to the
site being unreachable when those lost spots are coming in.

The "database" part of the site is very often extremely slow to
load or never loads at all.  Eventually, without fail, on a daily
basis, the page will fail to load when left open in a browser tab
when it attempts to auto refresh.

I understand you are not part of the technical team, but perhaps
the ones responsible can be given the message loud and clear and
not continue to assume all is fine.  The site (specifically the
database infrastructure) needs serious intervention.  The folks
that are responsible for maintaining the site's functional
integrity have failed miserably.  Time to step up or pass the
responsibility on to a competent team.

Not sure why you come to these conclusions, the website is not
slow, it is not abandoned and the spots enter the database nicely.

The map issue is explained in the wsprnet org forum with the
appropriate solution as well.

Users are managed steadily albeit sometimes slowly as I am
probably the only user admin doing any work on it at all most of
the time.

The other admins focus on keeping the site itself up and running
and solving the more technical issues.


Happy to give more insight if needed:

Hi,

This is probably not the right place for this issue, but all
other
options didn't get attention unfortunately.

Over the past months and years, wsprnet got continuously
slower, as more
and more people used the service.
Since a few months, wsprnet got unreachable for minutes
multiple times a
day. It is common that database requests time out.

wsprnet does also regularly lose wspr spots, because it is
overloaded.
Since a week now, the map on wsprnet.org <http://wsprnet.org>
doesnt work anymore.
The official wsprnet e-mail is refusing e-mails since at
least one year(!)


Over the past months, there have been countless complaints in the
wsprnet forum. And also countless offers to help to resolve
this issue,
also offers for donations.
Yet nobody seems to take action.


I ask you to please find somebody who takes care of
wsprnet.org <http://wsprnet.org>
