[Fourlanders] WSJT-X 2.2.2 GA Release

Sun Jun 28 00:26:32 EDT 2020

Got a late start because of some things that the wife said had to be done this afternoon and then the big storm. Got on FT8 after dinner. Conditions were OK with 6 open to the west. Best DX was CN88. After things got slow on FT8 I decided to work some MS and tried to switch to MSK441. WSJTX gave me a message that MSK441 isn’t a valid mode for Field Day, etc. Why is MSK441 not a valid mode for Field Day? Then N1MM crashed (related?) so I decided to call it a night. Anyone else seen this?
