It's currently optional ... When you send RR73, when the Tx Enable turns off, the operator has the OPTION to click it back on, select the Tx5 message, and have it go out.
See ... already implemented. Just takes TWO clicks. Neil, KN3ILZ On 10/4/2021 7:21 AM, Alex wrote:
Hi Jim, Hence the suggestion to make it optional. Perhaps there should be a penalty for not being courteous on the bands. I can live with that. I always had to laugh when I read the discussions on the RTTY lists after a contest. It's full of complaints about operators sending a character too many here and there. We're in a bad place if sending a 73, which is done in almost every other mode (including RTTY contests back when I participated), is too much to ask for. One can hardly argue that fully automatic operations (including logging) is a bad thing if sending a 73 is too much to ask for. 73, --Alex KR1ST On Oct 4, 2021, at 2:43 AM, Jim Brown via wsjt-devel <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On 10/3/2021 7:50 PM, Alex via wsjt-devel wrote: No 73, no QSO. I really don't care if that means my log will be a few Q's short. The world is already rude enough as it is. We can take a few moments to be courteous. Not when there's short band opening for DX, and not in a contest. :) When the other station sends RRR or RR73 and I immediately call CQ, he should know that I copied it. If I didn't, I'd send R-10 again. And if you re-send R-10, I know you didn't get my RRR or RR73, so I re-send it. This stuff is LOOONG established practice on the HF bands, especially for contesting and DX pileups. Indeed, the most discourteous thing we can do with working a contest (or in a DX opening) is to make the contact take longer to complete -- it slows the other station down! Contest rules penalize you if a QSO in your log is not in the other station's log, and it's often the loss of ANOTHER QSO. Failing to understand these issues has driven RTTY contesters crazy when FT8 and FT4 were added to RTTY Roundup, and when those same RTTY contesters worked to set up a pure digital contest. 73, Jim K9YC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel>
