locked unsuccessful contacts with 7q7ru
Joe - W9RF
Joe, I'm pretty much convinced of that. Since you have reminded me, that's what I remember about the clones, no F/H but appears to be in F/H mode. I am running an older version of WSJT but Laurie suggested I upgrade to the newest one. Going to do that and test a little more tonight. You are right about the garbage clones they might be using, could be why you see 10-20 calls moved down to the 0-500 slot then never get answered.. 73, W9RF - Joe

As long as you stay above 1000Hz you will not hurt anybody by running vanilla FT8 with a F/H DX station so if you find it works for you, nobody can complain. The original idea of FT8 to reserve the lowest 1000Hz in the passband for concluding QSO was a good idea in theory but unfortunately Joe et al underestimated the effect LIDS would have on the model. On bad days I wish there was some hidden flag in the Fox transmission that would block WSJT-X from manually transmitting within 500Hz of such a carrier... Björn

Since WSJT-X is open source even the garbage clones use Joe's decoder so decoding performance should be equivalent. If the DX systematically fails to complete QSO this means there is QRM in the listening slots on the DX's frequency. Björn SM7IUN

Their website says they are using WSJT-X v2.0
which is very old and might explain some of the
oddities of operation ...
One would think that, embarking on such a long-distance and
expensive DXpedition, they would be sure to have the most
up to date version of all their software ... but apparently
not. Apparently Malawi is the safest place in the world to
be this week, so we do owe a lot of thanks for them to
follow thru on the DXpedition.

Jim, Their call/call back/confirm (if that's how you explain it) is absolutely terrible, I would guess lees that 5% I've been trying with ver 2.2.2 WSJT but they are only working nostly JA's for now. 73, W9RF - Joe

You might want to check ClubLog to see if they logged your QSO. I had the same problem as you when I worked them on 30m. I tried for hours to initiate another contact with them, without success. Today I checked ClubLog, and indeed they logged the QSO. I reconstructed the entry for my log (DXKeeper) by using the ALL.txt file in WSJT-X to retrieve the necessary info.

Does any of this have anything to do with JTAlert?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Since it seems to be 100% related to wsjt-x would it not be better moving this over to the WSJTX mailing list. Tom GM8MJV

JTDX does not use the WSJT-X decoders, though the ones in the program are based on the originals. Theirs are much better in that they get more decodes than the original program. You can even download their audio samples and prove it for yourself if you do not believe the devs.
I only have WSJT-X installed for testing purposes and do not use it for QSOs. -- 73 de Guy G4DWV 4X1LT
