Hi Joe,

I think it would help a lot if details like these of the process, which is clearly quite well designed, were to be part of user doc for Hounds.

In Fox mode WSJT-X maintains several queues.

A specified Hound callsign stays in Fox's "available to be selected" list for up to 2.5 minutes after the most recent decode of that Hound.

When the Fox operator selects a Hound call is goes into a "to-be-called" queue, a FIFO list.  When it reaches the top and a slot is available, it will be sent a report.  The time spent waiting can be some minutes, and depends on many factors: NSlots, the number of calls in the FIFO, and the number of repeats necessary for QSOs already in progress.

Fox considers a potential QSO to have started when he first calls a particular Hound.  That potential QSO "times out" and is aborted if more than 3 minutes elapses without receiving "R+rpt" and sending RR73.
