OK, this is not totally DX, but of late, it's become a major contributor to the DX chasers worldwide. But after 50+ hamming, I'm asking for a little forgiveness.
I'm running the latest "Developer" or "Enhanced" (WSJT-X v2.7.1-devel) of WSJTx which has lots of great new bells and whistles. It's a parallel development that is said to have some or all of its features eventually appear in future releases of WSJTx.
I suspect that in the not too distant future, WSJTx will be distributed as a pre-compiled only program for Windows, MacOS, Linux and the Raspberry PI's. So no more open source modules available that can be compiled and modified in any way.
I have absolutely no "inside information" on this, but I believe the writing is on the wall. This will make Laurie's JTA a much easier program to manage with only one format to work with, so he can build in a lot of exciting new features into JTA as well. That's great.
I also expect to see another new "payload" bit count come along that will make the existing clones of WSJTx quickly unusable as users update WSJTx, similar to what happened a few years back. So the problems we've been seeing of late with "Fake Calls" will disappear. There is already a "Reduce false decodes" in this developer version. I'm wanting to see how it works on the PJ5/xxx problem in the next few days. Plus, now I can hide any call I want, and it won't display in the Band Activity window at all.
Again, I'm speculating that the reason for the WSJTx v2.7.1-rc's are few and far between the past year so is so these new features can be road tested first by a more limited number of users. I'm excited about the future of WSJTx.
Having said all of this, I still love to run SSB and RTTY, but I'm LAZY. I can run WSJTx remotely from my Laz-E-Boy recliner in the living room remotely, SSB is possible, but not nearly as easy. RTTY has been run for a couple of contests using my Linux box beside the Windows box, on my IC-7300 sitting on my recliner footrest and a long antenna cable back to my shack.
