Jeff and Jon, Not to mention the fact that meteor scatter pings are much stronger and longer on 6m than 2m. The patches of ionization caused by meteors are a ...

I was thinking of making a two meter, but will go with a 6 meter. Are there certain radios made specifically for 6 meter work vs 2 meter, or is it basically...
My Personal Opinion. The Icom IC-746 or IC-746pro are great radios. The Kenwood TS-2000 is a good choice. If you are more of a Yaesu fan then a good choice...
Hi Brian ; Well kind of both . You need a stable radio of reasonable power and a good antenna . Do not ignore the feedline as well , use the best you can...
Good Evening, I've been monitoring both 2m & 6m calling freqs for about a month.I've had success in copying lots of R26 and an occassional 73 But I've never...
Thanks reports from all. No old notes but think 1st time spots on VA6SZ and K8EB. Nice to see Al XE2AT on RH! Please take a few minutes and look over the...
If any in the Memphis area will be attending Dixiefest this weekend, please be advised that the Mid South 2m SSB Net has been nice to allow their table to be...
More than likely you have WSJT set to Single Tone (Sh Msg). All you are picking up are "birdies" from non-Ham sources. Turn off "Sh Msg" and put up a Yagi....
Just a point of clarification--unchecking "Sh Msg" on the program screen won't stop the decoder from decoding the single-tone messages; it just affects whether...
... Correct. ... I find it simpler to just set the "Sh" sensitivity to 99. That disables Sh in auto decodes. -- Bob Poortinga K9SQL Bloomington, Indiana US...

Hi all, Remind me not to respond to anything after 6 hours of completing trigonometry proofs!!!! I realized my mis-speak after I sent it. As Bob correctly put...
... Disabling in the options menu (check NoSh) turns the Sh sensitivity to +99 at the next restart of the program. It will also maintain the setting between...

... Catharinus, we've gone over this before, but I will state again that it's pretty easy for an experienced operator to tell. The SH messages and false ...
... Yes Russ we have gone over it. From the message by Bob K9SQL - which caused my reply in the first place, it appears that both systems are used intermixed....

Gentlemen, If you don't mind me jumping back into this I'll add my two cents. There's no need to toil over all of this again, but there are some newbies out...
Can I get some help from someone running windows 2000, that is using a login/password on their machine. Like to talk to them on phone. I am in big tbl here...
Hi Bob. I can talk to you now. But if you send me back your phone number I will call you and it will be a free call for me. Otherwise give me a call at...
Has anyone had problems with the latest version of WJST? What I saw was it would not look-up grids for known stations. Also I get an error after decoding takes...
... Tip I am quite sure you have to have CALL3.TXT and not callsign.txt in order for it to lookup the grid squares. Lee Scott - AA1YN http://www.aa1yn.com Home...
Tip -- I quote from http://pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT/UpdateHistory.txt 5. In case you are upgrading directly from v4.9.0 or earlier to v4.9.5, a callsign...
Tip, I had the same problem after upgrading to version 4.9.5, and I asked Joe about it via email. His response is attached below. I am not in the shack now,...

Also, be aware of the WsjtMerge program which can merge your old callsign.txt file with the new Call3.txt file, thus combining the information from both into a...
Joe, You are (of course) absolutely right. I changed the name of CALL3A.TXT to CALL3.TXT and now version 4.9.5 is working just fine. I'll come back later and...

I've just downloaded WSJT and have a pretty basic question for which I've not found an answer on the web or archives. I have a list of predicted meteor...
Joe -- As a first approximation, with WSJT you can forget about meteor showers entirely, especially on six meters. Your antenna beamwidth will be wide enough...
Hi - just saw an ad in QST this month (page 155) for small 12vdc cooling fans, $3.50 each !! Just the thing to keep your VHF/UHF bricks cool during long skeds...
Joe: Go to OH5IY ( search for it) web page. Download his program MS-SOFT v5.1. Learn how to use it, then you can call up any shower, and on the USA map pick a ...
Hi John, Thanks for the information - I found the page, have it downloaded, and I'm going to get familiar with it. Looking forward to exploring WSJT! 73, Joe ...
