Sorry Ken, you are misinformed.
WSJT can be successfully utilized without skeds on 6 and 2m. Above that,
at least here in California, 99% of all terrestraial activity (CW/SSB/...)
on 222 and higher is by sked, (moving someone from another band or a
scheduled net night). A CQ on 2221. 432.1 any night will normally be met
with silence outside of contests periods. Want to try random on microwave,
good luck.
BTW, since when did skeds become a bad thing? Skeds have been an accepted
part of VHF DX for decades. Meteor scatter on 3818, 3843, EME on 14.345,
6M DX on 28.885 are all historic frequencies, but internet chat pages are
much more efficient at passing that kind of traffic as one is not
distracted with trying to listen to a voice comm while trying to pull out a
weak signal at the same time.
