WSJT v2 beta releases and details (GA as of 10/12/18)

Is it posible you had the software in DXpedition mode Walt. In that mode the DXpedition calls below 1000 and the “hounds” answer above 1000, so a suggestion to answer 1000 up from the DXPedition on 908 is a possibility I guess.

Just a guess though… RTFM for me I guess.

	       Release: WSJT-X 2.0
	        December 10, 2018
	     -----------------------

WSJT-X 2.0 is a major update that introduces new protocols for FT8 and
MSK144. The new protocols become the world-wide standards on December
10, 2018.

WSJT-X 2.0 cannot communicate in these modes with other stations using
WSJT-X v1.9.1 or earlier.

Please help by urging everyone to upgrade no later than January 1, 2019.

New features since WSJT-X v1.9.1:

  1. Compound and nonstandard callsigns are automatically recognized and
    handled using new message formats.

  2. The new FT8 protocol provides optimized message formats for North
    American VHF contests, European VHF contests, ARRL Field Day, and ARRL
    RTTY Roundup. Similarly, the new MSK144 protocol provides optimized
    message formats for North American VHF and European VHF contests.
    Full support is provided for “/R” and “/P” calls in the relevant
    contests.

  3. The new protocols provide nearly equal (or better) sensitivity
    compared to the old ones, and lower false decode rates.

  4. New logging features are provided for contesting and for “Fox”
    (DXpedition) mode. Logging is optionally integrated with N1MM Logger+
    and WriteLog.

  5. Color highlighting of decoded messages provides worked-before
    status for callsigns, grid locators, DXCC entities, continents, CQ
    Zones, and ITU zones on a “by band” and “by mode” basis, and for
    stations that have uploaded their logs to Logbook of the World (LoTW)
    within a specified time interval.

  6. The WSPR decoder now achieves decodes down to S/N = -31 dB. For
    the particular benefit of LF/MF users, an option “No own call decodes”
    has been added.

  7. The UDP messages sent to companion programs have been expanded and
    improved.

Some details of changes since WSJT-X-rc5 include the following:

  • Initial load of ADIF log in background
  • Correct the UTC displayed in Fox/Contest log
  • Faster entry and correct scrolling for Fox/Contest log
  • Add contest exchanges and contest type to UDP logged QSO message
  • Fix a bug that suppressed decodes with negative DT.
  • AK and HI are DXCCs, not states, for RTTY Roundup
  • Fix improper truncation of some non-FT8 messages in ALL.TXT
  • Various minor bug fixes and code cleanup
  • Update the WSJT-X User Guide to v2.0 (more to come…)
  • Update cty.dat
