I totally understand that the processing is handled by WSJT-X with user
interaction.
It would be nice to know, with a status message when the user is transmitting,
what they are transmitting.
If they are calling “CQ” but the DX Call box hasn’t been cleared, I have no
way of knowing this.
So since the DX Call and DX Grid are loaded with old values ( I understand that
a user can clear after a QSO, but for the users who don’t )
If you call “CQ” I don’t know this. I can only assume the user is in a QSO
with the call in DX Call box, it’s the only information I have to go on.
So in GridTracker I draw a Path from the users Grid to the DX Grid box value,
which is invalid/incorrect.
If I can know we’re calling CQ, i can clear my DX call and grid info, so I
don’t draw incorrectly.
Once we enter a QSO the DX Call box and grid will update and correct, but for
the initial transmit , I don’t know whats happening.
If i get a “QSOLogged” or “LoggedADIF” message, I know that the QSO is nearly
over, but I don’t know at what stage. (we sending RR73 and done, RRR and
waiting to send 73? )
If anything, a notification of the “TX #” in the auto-sequence would be handy
but not the message itself.
If it's TX 1 and DX Call box is loaded ..I know to draw to DX grid (if known).
If it’s TX 4 or TX5 , I know I can stop drawing after transmit is over, if TX4
is RR73 that is, but i have no way of knowing. If it’s TX5 i know for sure.
If it’s TX 6.. I know it’s a CQ and will not draw to DX Grid, but produce
some other graphic in GridTracker to represent the CQ.
If I could read “TX 6” message value. I can interrupt it as i do on decoded
messages from WSJT-X:
“CQ EU N0TTL CN84” I can draw a line from my grid to the center
of Europe and outline Europe on the map.
“CQ MT N0TTL CN84” Draw a line to Montana and outline it.
“CQ F N0TTL CN84” Draw a line to prefix F… France and outline it.
And in no way am I asking to SET the TX # in the auto-sequence nor any of it’s
messages.
I am NOT looking to, or want to enable any auto-responses
Thanks for your time, I know you wanted details so there it is :)
