Hello Marcus, Vinny, all,

 

it was indeed a remarkable evening.

When I came in the shack at about 19 UTC the activity was already g= oing on and despite the fact that I had some other things to do (rushing in= and out the shack) I managed to work 10 stations:

OM1II, G4GIR, DL6II (of course), DF6NM, DG3LV, LA8AV, SV8CS, DG0RG, DK6X= Y and SP9DNO.

Also seen with good signal: SV3DVO and IW4DXW.

 

I am looking forward to part 2, this evening. Maybe last night activity = will trigger some =F9ore participants (missing SM, OH, 9H, EA last night?)<= /p>

Thank you Vinny, for the nice idea and the invitation to the party!
 
For me, it sure was a lot of fun, and = resulted in a number of JT9 QSO's with OR7T, DG0RG, SV8CS, SV3DVO, DL6II, D= D2UJ, IW4DXW, LA8AV, F6CNI, and DK7FC. Most signals were promptly decodable= (except for my report from DL6II which was lost due to temporary drift). A copy of my receive log is at http://df6nm.bplaced.net/M= F/jt9_party_160319.txt .
 
But operating workflow was not easy fo= r me. I don't have an MF SSB transmitter available here, just an AD8950 DDS= -board with a three-wire serial interface. So I decided to modify my h= omemade WSPR software, such that it reads a message from the command line, converts it to tone numbers by calling Jo= e's JT9CODE.EXE, and plays it at the beginning of the next minute. Lac= king the "late-start feature", the text had to be typed and ready= on time, and it was practically impossible to immediately reply to a decoded message. This was further ex= acerbated by the lack of automatic message generation ("three cli= ck QSO"), and some uncer= tainties of shorthand versus free-text length. I'm sorry if I hav= e been taxing the patience of my QSO partners!
 
Regarding the receive software, if I h= ad two free wishes this is what I would suggest:
 
- Show decodes as spectrogram labels: =
Coming from visual QRSS, I like t= o "see" who I work. With many stations in the spectrogram, it&n= bsp;can be challenging to keep an oversight on who is who, and on= which frequency.

- Show partial decodes:
When the signal is not too weak, the s= oftware could already attempt to decode a message before it = has been completely received. Decoding zero padded audio (e.g. two ext= ra times after 30 and 40 seconds) would give the operator significantly more time to think up an appropriate (non-automatic) re= sponse.
