Hi!
On friday evening we got first strong, long lasting, ES opening to
middle EU. I was able to work 92 qsos on that day with 1.9.1 r8733-dirty.
The last qso was quite interesting and I do not know what made it happen.
Here are the corresponding lines from my ALL.TXT:
180601_202630 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: CQ OH1KH KP01
202645 1 -0.1 1072 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD JO52
180601_202700 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
(here I got a splash saying should I use vhf contest mode? Canceled that
and started to get strange locator instead of R-report. Again and again)
202715 -2 -0.1 1072 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_202730 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
202745 -2 -0.1 1072 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_202800 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
202815 -2 -0.1 1071 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_202830 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
202845 -9 -0.1 1071 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_202900 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
202915 -11 -0.1 1646 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_202930 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
202945 -1 -0.1 1647 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_203000 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
203015 -7 -0.1 1648 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD AD57
180601_203030 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH +01
(here I switched manually to RR73. received immediately 73)
180601_203030 Transmitting 50.313 MHz FT8: DJ3JD OH1KH RR73
203045 -10 -0.1 1648 ~ OH1KH DJ3JD 73
When grep:ing ALL.TXT I noticed that DJ3JD had more similar events:
195300 -10 0.4 1132 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD JO52
195330 -3 0.3 1131 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD JO52
195400 -5 0.3 1132 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195430 -2 0.3 1131 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195500 -3 0.3 1095 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195530 -3 0.3 1095 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195600 -1 0.3 1094 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195630 -3 0.3 1094 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
195700 -1 0.3 1094 ~ YL2AO DJ3JD AD57
203330 8 -0.1 1648 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD JO52
203400 8 -0.1 1649 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD JO52
203430 14 -0.1 1648 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203500 14 -0.1 1648 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203530 14 -0.1 1571 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203600 12 -0.1 1571 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203630 15 -0.1 1571 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203645 -11 -0.6 1355 ~ DJ3JD SM0MLZ +14
203700 14 -0.1 1570 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
203715 -13 -0.6 1355 ~ DJ3JD SM0MLZ +13
203730 17 -0.1 1570 ~ SM0MLZ DJ3JD AD57
So I guess the problem is not at my side (canceling the vhf contest
popup splash).
I have mailed to DJ3JD if he could sent his part of our qso from
ALL.TXT and tell what version of wsjt-x he was using.
Have any other of you ever seen something similar happen?

Hello Joe,
the occurrence of the false pop up for "contest mode" has seemed to
decrease for us down here in VK but it still catches some out and
leads to confusion and cursing. For those of us hams NOT in the USA
and never likely to want contest mode ever, could a simple tick box be
included on the ADVANCED page to completely disable the contest mode
operation?
Regards,
Peter vk5pj
