Hello Vinny, MF,
Many thanks for your efforts to generate more activity on MF. Also the
invitation image was a nice idea :-)
As you can see there is a lot of activity this evening too, with some
rare DX stations like M0FMT!
I was able to do 19 QSOs (not real QSOs like in CW, but called QSO)
during that weekend although i missed some of them while i have not
been in the shack on saturday evening.
These were:
17:04 DD2UJ
17:10 DG0RG
17:22 SV8CS
17:30 DL4YHF
17:52 SV3DVO
21:47 F6CNI
22:02 DG3LV
22:09 IW4DXW
22:15 LA8AV
22:43 DL6II
23:02 DK6XY
23:06 DF6NM

18:20 SP9DNO
18:32 IZ7SLZ
18:58 G3XIZ
19:24 YO2IS
20:03 G4GIR

Hello MF, hello Rik,
triggering some more OM's would be fine. I invited many WSPR
transmitting OM's by their qrz.com mail addresses. But half of them
doesn't have any public mail information.
OH, 9H, EI and SM would be fine on JT9. Are there any stations
we couldn invite personally?
I also hope for EA5DOM :-)
HB9ASB and HB9BIL QRV in JT9 would be great as well. Can
somebody contact HB9BIL?

Betreff: RE: LF: JT9 Activity right now
Hello Marcus, Vinny, all,
it was indeed a remarkable evening.
When I came in the shack at about 19 UTC the activity was already
going 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, DK6XY 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 ùore participants (missing SM, OH, 9H, EA
last night?)

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, DD2UJ, 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/MF/jt9_party_160319.txt .
But operating workflow was not easy
for 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 homemade WSPR software, such that it reads a message from the
command line, converts it to tone numbers by calling Joe's JT9CODE.EXE,
and plays it at the beginning of the next minute. Lacking 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 exacerbated by the lack of automatic message
generation ("three click
QSO"), and some uncertainties
of shorthand versus free-text length. I'm sorry if I have been taxing
the patience of my QSO partners!
Regarding the receive software, if I
had two free wishes this is what I would suggest:
- Show decodes as spectrogram
labels:
Coming from visual QRSS, I like to
"see" who I work.
With many stations in the spectrogram,
it can be challenging to keep an oversight on who is who, and on which
frequency. It would be nice to see
the decoded messages as labels near or on the traces in a wide
horizontal spectrogram. replying by clicking on
colour-highlighted labels would seem more intuitive than clicking in
the separate text decode window.
- Show partial decodes:
When the signal is not too weak, the
software could already attempt to decode a message before it has been
completely received. Decoding zero padded audio (e.g. two extra times
after 30 and 40 seconds) would give the operator significantly more
time to think up an appropriate (non-automatic) response.
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
