Several decodes appeared with a fading percentage of "200%", whatever that means. These were all reported some 4 or 5 minutes after those of us using old versions. This is a strange' but is not the big problem. There were several false decodes this morning, including two of my transmission many hours after I stopped sending. These are also identified with a "200%" fade figure. One characteristic of Opera, up to now, is that false decodes are obvious in that the callsigns are random. However, false decodes showing real stations suggests that Opera is trying to work a bit like OPDS and keeping a database of valid callsigns. Unlike OPDS, however, It appears to gather recently active calls (or paths). This level of apparently real, but false, decodes makes the system useless, unfortunately, because reports from those using the new version can no longer be trusted. That is a pity because it was a good night for DX with many real decodes in excess of 2000km, and VO1NA reported in Europe. Mike, G3XDV ===========
