Bill, Thanks for that explanation. I realise its fairly early days and ok on the current limited capabilities in this space.
To make contest mode more viable IMHO it would need to provide dupe feedback on any callsign I selected at the time of selection for calling (in search and pounce) or as I clicked to answer someone (at which point it should not start the answer sequence without some sort of secondary input from the user). It might also be important to be able to block callsigns from auto answer in run mode (CQ mode) where you give up on a QSO but they keep trying but not acknowledging you or simply keep calling without ever progressing. Even if it is only a temporary "sin bin" of perhaps 15 minutes. I realise these now aren't bug reports but feature requests for a later version. However, I feel that some of these fundamentals will be important for this to be considered by serious contesters.

To get this working you must move aside your wsjtx_log.adi file (you will want to put it back after the contest). Then in "Settings->Colors->Decode Highlighting" enable just the "New call on band", "My Call in message", "New DXCC on band", "CQ in message", and "Transmitted message" colours. "LotW User" is optional. Check the "Settings->General->Show DXCC, grid, and worked-before status" option. Then work anyone who decodes with a colour highlight other than the green CQ colour. 73 Bill G4WJS. _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
