Hi. As I mentioned to some in an off list email, I found my self using the
"Freq" field on the WSJT-X display while running FT8 to keep track of which
messages were likely directed to me. It seemed to work ok for me the few times
I have responded to QSY requests via WSJT-X but I can see why others might find
this to be sub optimal.
