- A one-hour "practice contest" will be held next week using the FT8 mode
- and the ARRL RTTY Roundup rules.
- Thursday, 27 September 0200-0259 UTC (Wednesday evening, NA time)
- Dial frequencies 7.078 and 14.078, everyone works everyone.
- To participate you must use WSJT-X 2.0. The Windows installation package
- is linked at the bottom of this web page:
- https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html
- (Note that this is a temporary release candidate, not the final full
- release of WSJT-X 2.0.)
- The Quick-Start Guide to WSJT-X 2.0 is here:
- https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Quick_Start_WSJT-X_2.0.pdf
- IMPORTANT:
- 1. On the *Settings | Advanced* tab, be sure to check the boxes *Always
- generate 77-bit messages*, *Decode only 77-bit messages*, and *ARRL RTTY
- Roundup*. In the field labeled "Exch" enter the 2- or 3-letter
- abbreviation for your state or province (US/Canadian stations) or DX if
- you are not in the US or Canada.
- 2. Be sure that 7.078 and 14.078 appear in your selectable frequency
- list when for FT8 mode. You might need to do a *Reset* on the *Settings
- | Frequencies* tab.
- 3. We do not recommend using a compound or nonstandard callsign in this
- event.
- Post results and comments here so we can all learn from an actual FT8
- contest-like experience. Note that planning is underway for at least two
- dedicated FT8 contests to be potentially held in the next few months.
- Next week’s practice run will help to inform those plans.
- If you are not already subscribed, you may wish to join the email list

- This list is the best way to communicate directly with the WSJT
- Development Group.
