I saw the same thing. I clicked thru the nag box asking me to go to contest
mode and worked the JA anyway.
6M open to JA is sweet!!

Jay,
No...the VHF/UHF features not enabled. No box to check or not check in FT8
mode. I also failed to mention that this was using v1.9.0 r8731.

Hi Ned. I was wondering if you have VHF/UHF features enabled in the settings? I
wonder if this issue exists if that box is unchecked?
Sorry about the DS. I was able to work 17 JA's but never saw him.

Jay,
This happened to me at the most inopportune time. I was sending a signal
report to DS4AOW for a ATNO on 6m and it sent a NA Contest TX3 exchange
instead of what was expected. The only way I could clear the problem was
to change the mode to to anything other than FT8 and then back to get
the right TX3 message. While I was sorting that all out, the band faded
and I did not complete.
It's rare to hear stations over 10 KM, so this is a hard thing to test.
