There was some 'rage' Joe .. but those people were few and far between, and after a few days they were recognized, and the callsign was passed around as a 'bot' and ignored by many. However, now you have someone who is modifying the code to do this and, according to the eBay post will 'personaliz

A while back a Cuban surfaced on one of the Facebook groups describing a system he was coding that sounded very much like a QSO robot. After some blow back from other group members he backpedaled and claimed that was not at all what he was doing. Still, I wonder. The guy seems to be on the air

Re: [wsjt-devel] Someone released an Auto CQ mod - my 2 cents

Thing that is funny about this rage? People are fuming about how someone modified the program to make a robot QSO Maker. Where was all the rage when it was like a week after FT-8 was first released. where someone automated it way back then? I mean it was very simple to do. No coding skills o

Sorry guys - pandora's box has already been opened. I do not support automatic, unattended robot QSOs (which are illegal in USA and some other countries) but to ignore it as not happening is denying reality.

Hi Bill, Thank you for the detailed discussion of the considerations that the dev group has taken. And you're right: if I had thought a little bit more about the licensing, I would have realized that you have used components (qt etc?) that are under GPL or LGPL (or others) that require works using

[wsjt-devel] bogus spots

I note that if I change bands in FT8 mode in the middle of a 15 second sequence, often the stations that were being decoded on the former band get put out to PSK Reporter and on the screen as being on the new band. Is there merit, in the cause of "spot purity" in not displaying decodes on the
