Bob, 

you were correct. Uninstalled Google Chrome Remote Desktop and switched to AnyDesk, and all is good. Spots continue even after disconnect or timeout...

Stay safe and healthy.

Thanks

This behavior may be unique to "Google" (Chrome?) Remote Desktop.  

Can you try a different remote desktop app instead, one of these:

TeamViewer
AnyDesk
Windows Remote Desktop

Hi, 

I realized today what I somehow already suspected. FT8 spots stop coming to RBN aggregator when I get disconnected from the machine. When I connect again (Google Remote Desktop), they start again. 

Here is my setup:
computer in my garage, RP16 bit, 2 CW Skimmer Servers, CWSL_SSBWave, FT8Start, All CW bands, 3 FT8 bands. 

Is there something in the WSJT-x programs that detects that a user is gone or the like?
Have others seen this behavior?

Thanks,
Andy
