[Moon-net] Request for information on JT65 QSOs

[Joe Taylor]

To:      Users of JT65 for EME
From:    Joe Taylor, K1JT
Subject: Request for information

To provide some guidance on possible future development of WSJT, I am 
requesting some input from present users based on their operating 
experiences.  If you have used JT65 to make EME QSOs, I would greatly 
appreciate hearing from you (off list) with answers to the following 
questions:

1. Approximately how many EME QSOs have you made using JT65?  On what 
band, or bands?  Using JT65A, B, or C?

2. Have any QSOs that you originally considered complete, turned out to 
have been invalid?  If so, about how many?  For what reason(s)?

3. What about the converse?  Has anyone claimed to have worked you in a 
JT65 EME QSO that did not occur, or for some reason was not valid?

4. Do you find the standard JT65 messages and their decodings to be 
generally useful and reliable?  Do you have suggestions for improvements 
in this area?

5. When you are using JT65 for EME, do you primarily make scheduled or 
random QSOs?  Do you regularly call CQ, or answer other stations calling 
CQ?  Do you "self-spot" on a logger when you are calling CQ?  Do you 
tailend other QSOs, and do others tailend your QSOs?

Many thanks, in advance, for your help!  I look forward to receiving 
your input.  Of course, any ideas beyond answers to the above questions 
will be very welcome, also.

With best wishes,
