That is _not_ specifically due the fact I'm in Brazil or even better we could consider in this aspect all the Latin America, where in any case there are certainly less stations using most recent WSJT-X releases, in comparison with USA*, which are "almost always beyond the others in this kind of matters" and are numerically greater in terms of ham-stations, but further due the fact my antenna system is really modest and it doesn't allows me to receive everyone from everywhere. Just for your information, yesterday after I installed latest RC4 on my Linux box, I have been able to decode just _one_ US station on 14 MHz (NS9I), despite many signals were present on band, for this reason I rolled back to 1.9.1 (temporarily). (*) Go to http://www.pskreporter.info/ and check yourself how many stations are using RC4 so far and from where they are. -- 73 de Marco, PY1ZRJ
