[Elecraft] FT8: "Magic radio"?

Yes to both. I have taken advantage of the ability to receive, 
even with long dropouts, by turning off my transmissions for a 
few seconds to see if I'm on top of another station and 
therefore having more problems getting through. This ability 
also helps with noise bursts.

The QRM solution is inspired. If wsjt-x decodes a signal, it 
will back encode that signal and subtract encoded signal from 
the received signal. Frequently it can then decode a station on 
the same or a nearby frequency. These "second decode" stations 
are reported at the end of the decoding report.
