Dear Alberto, LF Group,

You can see some more in my previous e-mail. It seems to be quite common to 
see improbable callsigns popping up, especially when there is narrow-band 
noise present in the passband. I suppose since the transmitted WSJT messages 
are so tightly formatted and compressed, any gobbledygook that comes out of 
the decoder must be formatted as callsigns, locators, etc. But given the 
level of error correction, it does seem suprising that the decoder generates 
false decodes as often as it does. Perhaps the decoder is "trying too hard" 
to fit a valid bit pattern to noisy data.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
