Comments:
Lost time struggling with WSJT-X problems after installing version 2.1.0 but
finally got that working. I ran two instances of WSJT-X on a single PC,
controlling separate radios on 6 and 2 meters. WSJT-X played fairly well with
N1MM+, but there was some confusion with stations not running contest
mode. The CQWW VHF contest rules are a bit self-contradictory, and I wish we
had been playing by the ARRL rules allowing skeds. Six meter E-skip
propagation was only fair toward the west, but New England was into Alabama for
most of the contest. I made some QSOs with new mode FT4, and I was
surprised at the number of repeats required on that mode even with strong
signals. I'm looking forward to smoother integration of WSJT-X with N1MM+.
I heard some 2m E-skip signals on SSB Saturday afternoon, but my 50 watts were
not enough to break through the QRM to snag stations in North Dakota
and Minnesota.
