\nSubject: [wsjt-devel] Second Public Test of FT8 DXpedition Mode: early results
\n—-<\/p>\n
Hi all,<\/p>\n
Many people have asked for a list of stations heard and worked in the
\nSecond Public Test of FT8 DXpedition Mode, held on April 7. I have attached a brief summary. It’s a plain text file containing four lists of callsigns:<\/p>\n
1. 61 logged by W1\/KH7Z in 36 minutes: rate = 61*60\/36 = 102\/hour<\/p>\n
2. 55 logged by K1JT in 21 minutes: rate = 55*60\/21 = 157\/hour<\/p>\n
3. 174 logged by W7\/KH7Z in 60 minutes: rate = 174\/hour<\/p>\n
4. 390 unique calls copied by one or more of the three Foxes<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that Ned\/AA7A, operator at W7\/KH7Z, learned to manage his queues much more effectively as his hour progressed. After a program restart at 1532 UTC he worked 105 additional stations, a rate of 105*60\/28 = 225\/hour during the remaining part of the hour.<\/p>\n
Slowly but surely, we are optimizing the software and improving our “FoxOp” skills. Further progress will definitely be possible!<\/p>\n
For this test the three Foxes were configured as follows:<\/p>\n
Call Grid PEP PerSlot Antenna
