Yes, very cool. W6OAT and I are among ops who chase CQ Fields, and the
ones that are all water are a challenge. Both of us worked this
station for a new field!
Oh - I'm impressed! You worked someone who wasn't there.
Reminds me of a rhyme attributed to Hughes Mearns
When I was going up the stairs
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish to h-ll he'd go away.
And for those who won't bother to go read about it, WSJT-X standing
alone can only be set to will only answer one station responding to
its own CQ and complete one QSO. The automation to reset that process
was provided by programming of the computer running WSJT-X.
So now we're being selective about technology - isn't all technology good?
Only a purist, or a luddite, would object to automated WSJT-X QSOs. Press
a single button, wait a few hours, and come back to see what "you've"
worked.
This technology can not be un-invented, and it's not about to go away any
time soon.
Progress is inexorable - but progress in what? :-)
