Everyone using WSJT-X should upgrade to v2.0 ASAP after December 10.
Certainly by Jamuary 1, 2019. The protocols in use for the January VHF
Sweepstakes (also the January RTTY Roundup) will be those in WSJT-X 2.0.
This is for good reason. Many of the changes in v2.0 are the result of
requests by the VHF Contesting community.
In v2.0 all messages will decode properly, independent of whether you
have selected the "NA VHF Contest" message format for the automatic
generation of Tx messages.
V2.0 supports Rover ("/R") callsigns in any message.
Messages about the need to upgrade after December 10 have been sent
everywhere we can think of. It's already on several reflectors. It's
on the WSJT web site. It has been in several ARRL News pieces, and the
ARRL Contest Newsletter. It will be in the December Cheese Bits.
People tell me they save sent items to QRZ.COM, eham.net, etc. There
will be a 2-page article in January QST. What else can we do???
Please, somebody, forward this message to the VHF Contesting reflector!
Finally: don't wait until the day before the contest.
-- 73, Joe, K1JT
