Tnx Rory.
I do prefer split, true, but “CQ PLUS” is as close as I can get to “CQ FT8+” within the confines of the CQ message format i.e. CQ[space][up to 4 letters][space][my callsign][space][my 4-char grid]. I’m currently on 15m FT8+ a little above 2000 Hz on the usual VFO frequency, running a sufficiency of power towards NA. I’m mostly calling CQ PLUS ZL2IFB RF80 interspersed with these free text messages: WSJTX2 RC4 HR 77 BITS ONLY NO CPY 75 BIT TX 77 BIT PLS I’ve had no FT8+ QSOs so far today and copied just one 77-bit station (WA6PHR) while I was otherwise engaged … but I’ll persist for a while yet to give other pathfinders the chance to work ZL on the new mode. I’ll shift down to 17m then 20m over the next couple of hours (roughly 22-01z). Might turn the beam towards Asia as well to give our friends in that part of the world the same opportunity. Same again tomorrow, provided 15m is open to NA as it is today. 73 Gary ZL2iFB From: Rory Bowers <[email protected]> Sent: 18 November 2018 07:24 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] RC4 oddity I copied your "CQ_Plus" just fine Gary. I guessed that you wanted to work split "up" and we completed a good QSO. Nice test of 77 bit Gary! 73, Rory, K5CKS On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 10:54 PM Gary Hinson <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: While trying to send a “CQ PLUS” message, I somehow got WSJT-X 2.0.0-rc4 to send, or appear to send, a hashed version of the message with “<CQ_plus>”, 3 times: I deleted and re-entered the “ plus” bit from the Tx6 message box (prematurely sending the “CQZL2IFB RF870” message in the process) but it again sent the hashed version … until I clicked the Tx6 button which started me sending the “CQ PLUS” non-hashed form as expected. If I only edit the Tx6 message to “CQ plus ZL2IFB RF80” it sends the hashed version: after I click the Tx6 button, it converts the message showing in the Tx6 box to uppercase and sends the non-hashed version. 73 Gary ZL2iFB _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
