That may work OK if the band is not busy and you haven't moved on to
another station. Otherwise you may not have time to search a scrolling band

I just put in a request with the wsjt development group to add some
functionality to take the DF that a QSY message arrived at, match that DF
to a prior decode and pull the callsign of the station and display it in
the QSY monitor window.
