[600MRG] Spots not getting into PSK Reporter

[Frank O'Donnell]

John,

Thanks for passing along the note. I know that the UDP boxes and port 
number are important if WSJT-X is being set up to communicate with a 
local program such as JTAlert, but I don't think they should affect PSK 
Reporter posts, since those are sent out using the http address. I 
haven't heard back from Philip Gladstone, so I must have either tried 
him at a time that he's out of pocket, or maybe used an old email 
address. Meanwhile I haven't seen any fresh JT9 spots during my 
occasional monitoring, so haven't been able to make any changes to 
settings to test it further.

I've been gradually pulling together gear to set up to transmit on 630m, 
and am hoping to have the final items the week after next. Then it will 
be antenna-hanging time.

73,

Frank
