Thanks Joe, Steve, and Bill. This looks very good. 1. Where do you want folks to submit their feedback after using the RC? You all seem to be good at dealing with the firehose of emails coming in to wsjt-devel, but maybe you want to set up something just for this.
2. Any chance of having "Best S+P" also consider end-of-QSO messages (RR73, etc.) as well as CQ's? Tailending, without waiting for a CQ, can really help with rates. 3. Any chance of implementing F/H style "W1ABC 73; W0XYZ 569" call queueing? Thanks! 73, Paul K6PO On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 8:38 AM Joe Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > To: WSJT-X users interested in testing FT4 > From: K1JT, K9AN, and G4WJS > > Soon after the "FT8 Roundup" held on December 1-2, 2018, we started > serious work on a faster, more contest-friendly digital mode that can > compete with RTTY-contesting QSO rates while preserving many of the > benefits of FT8.
