I also have been using WSJT-X RC3 overnight monitoring 630 m WSPR with no problems detected. No phantoms so far.
73, John de VK2XGJ I hear there's a new restaurant on the Moon, great view but no atmosphere! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Brown Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2016 7:04 PM To: WSJT software development Subject: [wsjt-devel] Bad Decodes On Second Pass Hi Team, For several weeks, I've been letting WSJT-X rc3 run overnight on 160M while I sleep, and tabulating the decodes the next day. I've been quite pleasantly surprised by the activity -- in less than a month, I've decoded about 450 different stations running JT65 or JT9. More than a dozen are from outside North America, about half of those from western EU. The reason for this post is that I've also seen a half dozen or so decodes that appear to be false. Looking more closely, I see that most are second decodes finding the signal underneath another one that decodes correctly. I haven't done enough analysis to say that ALL second decodes are bogus, but nearly all of the bogus decodes are on second passes. On each of them, I can't find the call on qrz.com, the call often doesn't make sense, and the time of day doesn't support propagation to me (near San Francisco) from the received grid square. BUT -- the grid square usually roughly correlates with the country associated with the call (which is usually a non-standard prefix for that country). 73, Jim K9YC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
