Steve, I guess that your statement "WSJT-X will not pick up this call" means that WSJT-X will not *automatically *enter this call into the "DX Call" field, nor the locator into the "DX Grid" field. That is true, but WSJT-X will certainly pick up the call and grid as decoded if you enter it manually into the two fields. WSJT-X does not care how the call and grid arrives in the two fields, but once they are there they are used as entered. I had no problem sending any of the Tx1 - Tx5 messages with 5CT in the DX Call field and JN0 in the DX Grid field.
First of all 5CT is not a valid call sign. Secondly, and all important here, it 5CT is not in accordance with the WSJT-X defintions and algorithms for what constitutes a call sign as defined in https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.2.2.html#PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW . Consequently, all my messages were sent as free text messages truncated at 13 characters, which is just right. 73 Frode LA6VQ tir. 18. aug. 2020 kl. 08:11 skrev Stephen VK3SIR <vk3...@hotmail.com>: > Hi Folks, > > I am unsure whether this has been reported: > > 30m: > > 055130 -11 0.2 1626 ~ CQ CO8LY FL20 Cuba > 055130 -17 0.3 1342 ~ R3BV F1LYV RR73 > 055130 -19 0.3 618 ~ CQ DX 5CT JN0 Morocco <-- Will not allow > this to be picked this up > 055200 -12 0.2 1627 ~ CQ CO8LY FL20 Cuba > > No matter what you do or how you try to pick up this calling station and > pick up its call (i.e. click on it, double click, even use JTAlert) WSJT-X > will not pick up this call ! > > I can see that this is being primarily interpreted as a text message (i.e. > > 13 chars) ... with the call framed in a " bad" format (missing the final > char of the maidenhead). > > [ It is fully understandable and understood why the logic will not allow > this call to be picked up as the truncated maidenhead is confusing things ] > > Unfortunately I do not have a recording of this to post back ... > > The screen is going nuts here with PM's so it needs be reported. > > 73 > > Steve I > VK3VM / Vk3SIR > > _______________________________________________ > wsjt-devel mailing list > wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel >
