[ADXA] Massive JA Opening on 6 Meters

[patw5vy at gmail.com]

EJ,
I believe I read that in Release 2.2.0 GA, the WSJT-X team has added  additional default dial frequency presets for FT8 in the "Frequency" tab for the three busiest bands. 40/30/20??  I have so many added freqs for DXpedition Fox/Hound in my config I can't tell where the new defaults are!  I checked 50.323 a couple of times today and heard a couple of US stations calling CQ DX but no JAs on the "DX" FT8 frequency.  I've heard a few EU stations calling on 50.323 but the bulk of activity is on .313.  I use a couple of "slices" on my Flex to watch FT8 and SSB/CW on 6M.  I only have one antenna so I can't do single band SO2R like Big Dog Joel.   There was a lot of CW activity today but I didn't hear any DX on CW.  Most of the JA's were in the -10 to -20db/AWGN range ...not quite strong enough for CW unless you have bionic ears.  I've reached the stage where I'm blissfully unaware of annoying high pitched sounds...I can't hear them!  I'm not sure my XYL believes me?

73,
Pat, W5VY

I agree with some of the suggestions to spread it out a bit.  They may have been in there but no way to work them with the JA free for all
