[50mhz] [PNWVHFS] 6 Meters Open!

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Hi Bill,

Yes, it was great to see Es so strong down to the NM and AZ areas.  But what is 
REALLY TERRIFYING is the fact that so many stations have not read the WSJT-X user 
manual, and have no idea how to set up their rigs to avoid broadcasting harmonics all 
across the bandpass :-(   PSE PSE PSE either set up your rig properly or only 
transmit on frequencies above 1500Hz!   I saw a number of stations transmitting 
harmonics up through the fifth harmonic of their fundamental signal!   This really 
needs to be fixed before Es season really gets underway!!  PSE help spread the word!!!

*Maybe the next version of WSJT-X should prevent anyone transmitting below 1500Hz if 
they are NOT in FAKE IT or SPLIT CAT control!  I AM SERIOUS!!!*  You would not 
believe the mess on the Wide Graph tonight!!!

GL and VY 73, Lance
