Here is an example of what I talked about below. I've been chasing P29RO on all bands and modes as part of our club competition.A few minutes ago they were on 10M FT8 F/H with a huge signal.. I worked them on one sequence. They continued to call CQ for several minutes without answers, even though I spotted them. Shortly after they quit. I anticipated that they moved down a band and sure enough they were on 12M, also with a big signal (+20 dB). I called them again just for the hell of it since already had them in the log. When they didn't answer right away, I figured they knew I was in their log and weren't answering. So I halted my transmitter and left the shack. When I returned I was on their frequency and had completed the exchange. Wes N7WS. On 11/5/2022 4:02 PM, Wes wrote: Perhaps. But I (my computer) was calling one of the expeditions a night or two ago on FT8 F/H when I decided that I needed another beer. I walked out to the kitchen and when I came back I had "worked" him.I have on occasion quit calling a station only to have them active my transmitter and move me to their frequency and complete the contact.Wes N7WS On 11/5/2022 12:06 PM, Lloyd - N9LB wrote:You guys don't know what you are talking about.The WSJT Modes, including FT8 and FT4, require a live operator ( not someone sleeping ) to initiate each contact. ( There is also a time-out timer that limits the number of times it calls/replies before going back to standby )andThe ARRL requires at live operator ( not someone sleeping ) to initiate each contact before they will consider the contact legitimate. _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector |
