OK Joe. It's a consequence of history, then, that neither /M nor /MM are on the "type 1" compound call list.
I get it. /MM EME would need flat calm seas, and /M an extremely competent and steady ... or slow ... driver! 73 Gary ZL2iFB -----Original Message----- From: Joe Taylor [mailto:j...@princeton.edu] Sent: Sunday, 25 February 2018 12:09 p.m. To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] extended CALL, FT8 spare bit On 2/20/2018 4:23 PM, g...@isect.com ZL2IFB wrote: > I noticed that /M and /MM are missing from the "Short-list of Add-on > Suffixes" under the Help menu: is that just a little error on the help > text or a genuine (if surprising) omission from the list? > > I'm puzzled because I worked a /MM station yesterday, painlessly as I > recall.

The nature of the list of Type 1 prefixes and suffixes has been described here many times, and also in the WSJT-X documentation. You worked a /MM station without any problems because his call with /MM is fully supported as a Type 2 compound callsign. Also. as described in the docs. The list of Type 1 prefixes and suffixes goes way back to the days when WSJT and JT65 were primarily used for EME. Not very many /MM stations are found working EME. -- Joe, K1JT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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
