[VHFcontesting] WSJT for random contacts in contests?

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

The westernmost station transmits during Sequence 1 (top of the minute). Now 
remember that this isn't a LAW, it's just a recommended custom, designed to 
help stations have at least some idea of when to listen for a given station 
or area. So you will hear stations violating it from time to time. If you 
are in the midwest, as you are, you may find yourself working stations in 
both directions. In such cases, it is not necessary to change which sequence 
you're transmitting on -- it just confuses people. So use the custom 
intelligently.
