Hi Alex,
If your looking at a software change, here's one to add.
In contest mode, have WSJT-X reference the station log for the contest so dupes
don't even show as a CQing station. Only stations that need to be worked.
We would be checking to make sure we didn't waste someones time before we tried
working someone.
If this is already built in the software, please enlighten me.

I thought it was a lot better than in previous contests. Sure there were
some folks not using the contest mode, but I'm just glad they are there
at all and I'll switch modes and work them. I can't get upset over it.
Now, there is something that can be done in the software. Have it check
if it's a VHF contest weekend and have it only operate in contest mode
on FT8 on the VHF bands on those weekends (or nights for the sprints).
:-) Or only have it only operate in contest mode on VHF at all.
I too ran SO2R with FT8 on 6 on one rig, and with the other radio on two
meters looking for contacts, making sure I only had one tx signal at any
time.
