Hi George ... What's wrong with signal reports... lots of us like to know how well we are getting out.
I also like contesting and appreciate the shorter exchange of contest more when contesting. I've also seen this mode used by FFMA 6m grid chasers (myself included). All well and good. Folks can choose the right mode for their current purpose. Just check the contest mode box when contesting. But that's not a justification to change the default to the mode that happens to seem the most useful to you this week. 73 Mike K6ML > On 08/01/2021 10:13 AM George J Molnar via wsjt-devel > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks for that info, Bill.
