Hi,
 
Paul, I have the same issue when I use the call ZS1/F5FDV.
 
Since december last year I was wondering why I get only few reports from PSKReporter.
Your post provides a very relevant the explanation, in my opinion.
 
Reporting went well with revisions prior to 2.0.
 
It seems consistent with the statement that it is now impossible to make proper QSO between two type B stations (see previous posts from me to the group). I think that there is a weakness in the coding or decoding of type B call signs. Decoding maybe, because reporting of these stations by WSJT-X to PSKReporter do no happen.

Objet: [wsjt-devel] WSJT Reporting to PSK Reporter

         Hi, I got this address from the WSJT website. I am new to this group and not sure of the protocols. I tried emailing yesterday but am unsure if this was received.

 

I am operating as VK2/G3NJV. After upgrading to v2.0.0 I found reports of my transmissions almost disappeared from PSK Reporter. I now get just a handful of reports all from stations NOT using WSJT. Most of these come from stations using “Red Pitaya FT8 TRX 1.0”. I spoke to Philip Gladstone about this and he told me that WSJT does not send reception reports to PSK Reporter unless it receives callsign and locator in a single message. It is impossible for me to transmit a message like this. Because I have a type B callsign, all that will fit in a single message is “CQ VK2/G3NJV”

 

This seems a particularly harsh outcome for type B callsign holders upgrading to v2.0.0. who, like me, are often operating portable stations with makeshift antennas where reception reports are extremely valuable. The reports from stations using a Red Pitaya are perfectly acceptable and I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the current WSJT “callsign + QRA” rule. Would it be possible to modify this to allow reception reports for type B callsigns received without a QRA?

 

Many thanks for your attention.

Paul Randall

PS After completing this email I checked the PSK Reporter website again. Sure enough there were just 5 reception reports, four from monitors using Red Pitaya but also a single report from K1HTV  using WSJT-X v2.0.0 784f75. This is the only WSJT reception report seen since 10 December so now I’m not sure what is going on!
