Hello Everyone,

Trying to run the ARRL 222 and up contest that requires six digit grid. I have the EU contest selected as it does the 6 digit grid, but stops decoding after the tx1 message. I see others are having the same issue in the contest.  Unfortunately no other real options for 6 digit exchange exists.

Any suggestions?

Hi Phil,

to fix a problem with EU Contest mode we had to make a breaking change in the protocol. If you or your QSO partners are not using WSJT-X v2.2.0 or later then some of the exchange messages will not decode.

From the v2.2.0 release notice:

 - New format for "EU VHF Contest" Tx2 and Tx3 messages

   When "EU VHF Contest" is selected, the Tx2 and Tx3 messages (those
   conveying signal report, serial number, and 6-character locator)
   now use hashcodes for both callsigns.  This change is NOT backward
   compatible with earlier versions of _WSJT-X_, so all users of EU
   VHF Contest messages should be sure to upgrade to version 2.2.0.
