       "QSOs logged from WSJT-X now carry the space weather and the distance, like hand-logged ones. The UDP path stamped the station profile, the DXCC and the QSL defaults but not SFI, A, K or distance — so an operator running digital had those fields empty across the whole log. Space weather is only stamped on a contact less than a day old: a logger re-broadcasting its backlog would otherwise be handed this morning readings for last month contacts.",
       "Band openings: EME contacts are no longer mistaken for an opening. A 2 m opening was announced at 9650 km towards Japan on stations working moonbounce — real contacts, but the moon says nothing about the band, and an antenna pointed that way finds nothing. Each band now has the longest path the atmosphere can actually carry: 3500 km on 2 m, 4000 on 4 m, and no limit at all on 6 and 10 m where multi-hop really does go round the world.",

       "Les QSO enregistrés depuis WSJT-X portent désormais la météo spatiale et la distance, comme ceux saisis à la main. Le chemin UDP posait le profil station, le DXCC et les défauts QSL mais ni SFI, ni A, ni K, ni distance — un opérateur en numérique avait donc ces champs vides sur tout son log. La météo spatiale n est posée que sur un contact de moins d un jour : sinon un logiciel qui rediffuse son historique se verrait attribuer les relevés de ce matin sur des contacts du mois dernier.",
       "Ouvertures de bande : les contacts EME ne sont plus pris pour une ouverture. Une ouverture 2 m était annoncée à 9650 km vers le Japon sur des stations en rebond lunaire — de vrais contacts, mais la Lune ne dit rien de la bande, et une antenne pointée par là ne trouve rien. Chaque bande a désormais la distance maximale que l atmosphère peut réellement porter : 3500 km en 2 m, 4000 en 4 m, et aucune limite en 6 et 10 m où les sauts multiples font vraiment le tour du monde.",
-      "Kenwood : le « Fake It » de WSJT-X ne laisse plus le VFO sur la fréquence d émission. Un changement de fréquence pendant l émission n était pas enregistré, WSJT-X croyait donc la radio déjà revenue sur la fréquence de réception et ne la remettait jamais en place."
