Re: [wsjt-devel] fyi ubuntu 18.04LTS

Hi Mike and all, I've often added a symbolic link in the /lib or the /usr/lib directories from a later library to, the one needed. In Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, we have libreadline5 and libreadline7 but not libreadline6. eg. cd /lib; ln -s libreadline.so.7.1 libreadline.so.6 Then refresh the library

A number of things: 1.  you can use the CQ FD XXX Grid as the call, 2.  How are you going to tell people to NOT use auto sequence 3.  Trash the 'tu cq fd' and just include the required info in the last message and include a 73. This may allow users who don't know about turning off auto

Trying to control a K3. The most common error is Hamlib error: Protocol error while opening connection to rig But I have seen one related to the VFO but that doesn't happen as often. I have the Timeout at 3000 and polling at 5 seconds and it happens rarely now. Hopefully it will be rare

Re: [wsjt-devel] Field day mods?

I like it. I see Field day as not only training, but PR and get together. All three purposes are served by using/showing as many Ham activities as possible. In fact, I plan to try operating WSJT modes myself during FD. Al Pawlowski Los Osos, CA USA > On May 10, 2018, at 08:22,

I find 20m already useless for casual operation. To be blunt, I find the band a constant shit show. I avoid it as much as possible. It’s not much better on 40m, either. > On May 10, 2018, at 1:07 PM, Gary McDuffie wrote: > >> Not to mention that the FT8 segments are

Re: [wsjt-devel] Duplicates in Band Activity

I experimented with this last yeardoing FT8 and JT9 at the same time -- two instances of WSJT-X.  It worked quite well. Mike On Thursday, May 10, 2018, 11:28:10 AM CDT, Barry Smith wrote: In message <296458153.2062259.1525965675...@mail.yahoo.com>          

Re: [wsjt-devel] Duplicates in Band Activity

Why would the receive end care? What he is doing is similar to Fox mode in WSJT-X.  You can transmit multiple signals at once. You may be thinking of repeaters where you have to have frequency separation. de Mike W9MDB On Thursday, May 10, 2018, 10:32:43 AM CDT, Bill Barrett

Hello Mike- Curious to know how much separation is necessary for the receive end to decode multiple signals? Thanks; Bill W2PKY On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 11:21 AM, Black Michael via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > No...that's somebody with 3 transmissions going on.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Field day mods?

Hmmm...so we don't want to train or show anybody the most popular Ham mode on the planet??? Given the score sheet that you submit doesn't care about who you QSO'd with don't really need a special mode for Field Day. So I have to wonder who cares if you don't exchange your state/mode ?  Are the

Re: [wsjt-devel] Field day mods?

I’m really hoping that the Dev Team chooses NOT to make a Field Day (or any HF contest) variant for FT8. Too many variations in formats, exchanges, and such will lead to bloatware and confusion. Since FD, in particular, is a training event, maybe we shouldn’t encourage semi-automated contacts.

Is there any interest in Field Day mods for WSJT-X? I'm envisioning a "Field Day" checkbox in the Advanced box. That would have the entries for the info State & Exchange It would simple do custom messages like this: CQ FD W9MDB -- double-clicking on this would generate FD messages.W9MDB K1ABC

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 CQ Fox block possible?

Current usage looks like a single channel would serve for both JT65 and JT9. The JT9 channels, as the least used, could then be used for DX and Fox/Hound operation. Hope the block allows it. Al Pawlowski Los Osos, CA USA > On May 9, 2018, at 20:50, wsjt-devel-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net

Noticed these this morning. Not caused me a problem, just wanted to report it. 2 entries for same message, same time, but different frequencies (about 100Hz apart) and different signal strengths. Waterfall showed only *one* signal (the higher of the 2 frequencies). I noticed this particular
