It also might not be a bad thing if some well-meaning but otherwise uninformed ops running 1.8 wander into the "pileup" as it may help simulate real-world conditions where this may also happen with more frequency. Though they may not decode the "fox" I've seen any number of times where people will start calling a "DX" even though they can't hear them so I'd expect this will happen during the public test as word spreads. It'll help add legitimacy to real-world QRM.
Just my 2 cents, feel free to keep the change :) Jim S.

Will those callers be ignored? Only Fox sends a new type of message -- that is, one not supported in WSJT-X v1.8.0. I hope it's clear in the FT8 DXpedition Mode User Guide http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT8_DXpedition_Mode.pdf ... that Fox will respond only to 1. Initial calls like line 2 in the User Guide's example sequence (top of page 2). These messages must be received above 1000 Hz; and 2. Messages like lines 4 and 6, from stations to whom Fox has already sent a signal report. These must be received between 300 and 900 Hz. -- 73, 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
