2018-10-24 Thread Bill
First I’d like to send thanks to Joe and his development team for their amazing work on WSJT-X. I feel that their program has saved our hobby from dying a slow death. I use WSJT-X almost daily on FT8 and have logged about 5000 QSOs. While I still learn more about it all the time there is one operat

I have found that most of the time the mouse click on the waterfall gets me "close enough". Fine-tune with the scroll wheel if necessary. 73 -Jim NU0C On Wed, 24 Oct 2018 16:01:18 -0700, Bill wrote: >While I still learn more about it all the time there is one operational >function that has

Hi Jim, Yes I've done that but you still need to go through the process of looking at your last transmission in the list and translating that to a waterfall location click. In the mean time the DX has moved on to an easier contact. I've found that a quicker reaction time helps with not losing n

I played the entire hour but only worked 7 stations. There seemed to be a lot of participants, which is great, but I was not able to work very many of them. I'm not sure if (1) my signal strength was too low, or (2) if my signal quality was poor, or (3) if I was running WSJT-X RC3 incorrectly. Re
