Topband: Deep Search

[Jim Brown]

The database used for deep search contains only the calls of those doing 
weak signal VHF and EME work.  It is implemented ONLY in the WSJT software.

The JT65-HF software used on the HF bands, written by W6CQZ, does NOT 
use deep search.

BTW -- how many contesters are there who don't use a super check partial 
or call history file in their logging software?  And exactly how is that 
different from deep search?

And how about using a DX cluster to find stations to work?  Sure makes 
it a lot easier than spending decades tuning up and down the band 
looking for signals, then having to separate the call from the noise.

And how about using Skimmer to copy calls?  Or to spot the last station 
worked in a pileup?

I'm SURE that none of the very vocal folks wringing their collective 
hands have EVER stooped to any of these practices that make it SO much 
easier to work DX, nor has anyone else using their station! And everyone 
sends CW with a straight key, or MAYBE a bug.  But NEVER an electronic 
keyer.
