The FT4, FT8, and MSK144 protocols support special messages optimized

Contest QSOs are generally treated as invalid when they appear in one

station's log and not the supposed QSO partner's. To avoid Not-in-Log
|
||||
(NIL) penalties for yourself and others, we recommend the following
|
||||
guidelines for contest logging with FT4, FT8, and MSK144:
|
||||
|
||||
- Activate and learn to use the alternate F1-F6 bindings selectable
|
||||
on the *Settings | General* tab.
|
||||
|
||||
- Always log a QSO when you have received RRR, RR73, or 73 from a
|
||||
station you are working.
|
||||
|
||||
- Log a QSO when you send RR73 or 73 if you are reasonably confident
|
||||
it will be copied. But be sure to watch for any indication that it
|
||||
was not copied, and then take appropriate action. For example, if
|
||||
you receive the Tx3 message (R plus contest exchange) again, hit F4
|
||||
to re-send your RR73.

In many ways JT65 operation on VHF and higher bands is similar to HF
|
||||
usage, but a few important differences should be noted. Typical
|
||||
VHF/UHF operation involves only a single signal (or perhaps two or
|
||||
three) in the receiver passband. You may find it best to check
|
||||
*Single decode* on the *Settings -> General* tab. There will be
|
||||
little need for *Two pass decoding* on the *Advanced* tab. With VHF
|
||||
features enabled the JT65 decoder will respond to special message
|
||||
formats often used for EME: the OOO signal report and two-tone
|
||||
shorthand messages for RO, RRR, and 73. These messages are always
|
||||
enabled for reception; they will be automatically generated for

transmission if you check the shorthand message box *Sh*.
