Hi all, Bill responded to a recent query on wsjtgroup about the use of compound callsigns. As we all know, these are bit of a nuisance in JT65, JT9, and JT4, in part because of the need to maintain backward compatibility with the original JT65 protocol specification, defined more than ten

Hi Bill, Of course, a savvy user would edit the automatically generated message so that N8PR ZL/KE4PT is sent. That's a legal message, because ZL is one of the 339 standard prefixes defined in pfx.f90. They are legitimate for the compound-callsign messages we call Type 1 in the WSJT-X User

Hi Greg, About a possible common library: I would like to see any common libraries built with CMake, this is because CMake has powerful tools for exporting library code for use in other CMake built projects. This doesn't make them any less useful for non-CMake projects. Unless you plan on
