Thanks, Steve and Joe both - my sleep-deprived brain completely failed to register that part.

After you receive a signal report from Fox, WSJT-X will automatically send your next transmission as message Tx 3 (“R+rpt”) at a randomly chosen frequency between 300 and 900 Hz. Note that WSJT-X will send this message even if Enable Tx is disabled, and even if you have not called Fox for several Tx sequences. If you have stopped calling Fox because you will be leaving the rig unattended, you should quit WSJT-X or disable Hound mode in order to avoid the possibility of unwanted transmissions." It is important to understand this behavior. It means that, in most cases, you should not just leave your rig on and monitoring the DX after you have stopped paying attention, as you could be in for a surprise when your rig springs to life and starts TXing.
