For some reason when I reply to a email it gets kicked back,I have to start a
new thread sorry, Hello NJ4Y thanks for stopping in, I have seen those
frequency messages flying past on 6 and 2 ft8, Everytime I see them I wonder
who there for, Like Terry said and I didnt know this until he pointed it out
and it makes sense anything generated from the page 2 messages is kinda like
throwing it up in the air and maybe the right person,(Your Intended target )
will see it. And at that point if he figures it out that its for him how does
he figure out who is at the other end, The only clue he has is the direction of
his antennas and maybe the senders frequency. So yes maybe he can qsy over to 2
meters and maybe someone will be there but there is a possibility that
frequency message was intended for someone else and propagation dropped it in
you lap. I played with it some more yesterday, Thinking maybe if I could insert
the qsy string in the tx2 area of the top page or the tx6 area, My thoug
hts where start the contact and slip the qsy string during the other stations
transmit sequence. HaHA, Nope ,Bet the programmers are cracking up on that
one,WSJTX program kicks out my text and puts back whats supposed to be
there.LOL. .,Another reason for having all that info out there, Could possibly
somebody else copy that qsy info in the same area as the target and follow the
qsy like in the good old SSB days?, Maybe by moving one station onto 432 mhz
you might find a few more.Yea Im a dreamer,LOL. The good news is I can put the
13 digit qsy string onto the front page and it will send, The question is if im
watching k8gp cqing how do I get his attention without being able to engage
him, One thought would be get on his freq and just send the qsy text, Thinking
he would decode the text and see it on his own freq and know hey thats for me
from wd9exd,Another option would be let the computers engage then halt it and
send the qsy code, Im sure the contest rate gang wont like that op
tion, My reason for taking a run at this is i missed out on a few regulars on
222 and 432 W5ZN being one of them, As with everybody else FT8 has us
scrambled,My 222 and 432 count down in em57 isnt great,I can work 10 to 15 qsos
and grids on both bands but half or better are probably coming from rovers.I
beleive we can still use page 2 text message to tail end on your first qso,
This would be for the guys you know you can work on the other bands but you
just cant get them there, So thats where im at anybody have any ideas? TNX
