Chris Wilson 20 November 2017


The superb ears of N1BUG logged me several times from here in the UK
to Maine US using JT-9 one minute TX sessions, but despite me
preceding my message with a "B" (B 2E0ILY IO82) and he having WSJT-X
set with upload spots ticked, no spots are uploaded to PSKReporter map

I do get occasional spots from the Canary Isles (EB8ARZ/2) using the
same U3S set up here. Are either of us missing something does anyone
know? Thanks! WSPR2 spots work fine and upload to the WSPRNet map.

Hi Chris,

I tried JT-9 on 6m a while back and found that "CQ G8BQR IO82" initially (despite being unable to complete a QSO !) and, after looking through the info for an alternative, found "DE G8BQR IO82" both of which were spotted.?
Incidentally, TX of JT-9 after a WSPR period also worked.
U3s, software v.3.09c

Regards,? Ed,? G8BQR

Hello Ed,


Thanks for the info, much appreciated. We (n1BUG and I) are still
unable to get his spots of my JT-9 signal onto the PSKReporter map so
I will try CQ and DE preceding the call and locator. I am actually
transmitting JT-9 directly after a WSPR2 transmission, that diesn't
seem to help. Thanks again for your time Ed.

Hello N3IZN,

I got this response, which I find a bit ambiguous, on the WSJT-X
group, make of it what you will. If Hans sees this it would be helpful
if he could confirm this is beyond the control of his coding and the
U3S devices? Thanks.

Hi Chris,

as stated the last time this question was asked a few days ago, WSJT-X
only spots to pskreporter received standard messages containing a
valid grid square.

An FT-8/JT65/JT9/MSK144/JT4/QRA64 message using 'B' in place of the DX
call sign is not a standard format message, it is a free text message.
Just because the U3S sends free text messages of this format does not
make them valid standard messages.These QSO modes are not designed as
a beacon modes, WSPR does that with greater sensitivity and its own
Internet spotting service, wsprnet.org. The wsprnet.org database of
spots is kept, I believe indefinitely, so is far more suitable for
history queries and analysis of propagation. As WSPR is a beacon mode
and supports band hopping there are also more likely to be active
receivers on apparently closed bands so it's effectiveness for
discovering openings is potentially greatest.

You may be tempted to request that a message of the form "B <DE CALL>
<GRID>" become a valid standard message but I suspect the response may
well be negative as adding many beacon spots to QSO sub-bands will
probably not be welcome.

Using "CQ 2E0ILY IO82" will get you on pskreporter .
