A 1-hour "practice contest" will be held next week on Thursday, October 25, 0200 - 0300 UTC (Wednesday, October 24, in North American time zones). Use dial frequency 7.078 kHz, moving up in 2 kHz increments if interference is too great. The date was incorrect in this week's edition of The ARRL Letter.

To participate you must useÿWSJT-Xÿversion 2.0.0-rc3[1]. Installation packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS are near the bottom of the page. This version is "Release Candidate 3," a beta-test version. A full release ofÿWSJT-Xÿ2.0 is targeted for release on December 10. There's also a revisedÿQuick-Start Guide[2]ÿto WSJT-X 2.0-rc3. FT8 co-developer Joe Taylor, K1JT, advises reading the entire document before usingÿWSJT-Xÿ2.0. (Changes in RC3 relative to RC2 are described starting on page 7.)
