For about 10 minutes, I have been on 2m FT8 using WSJT-X V2.0 rc5. I have been calling CQ during this period at 2.5W to the big wheel. No spots. At the moment I am RX only.
UPDATE 1140z: Well, I tried an uninstall and reinstall of WSJT-X V2.0 rc5 and still no spots! In desperation I have gone back, for now, to V1.9. Immediate spots with best DX PA3FMP (298km)!
UPDATE 1207z: Since rolling back to WSJT-X V1.9, for now, 5 stations now spotted.
UPDATE 1328z: Now 9 stations in 2 countries spotted so far today on 2m FT8..
UPDATE 1415z: Now 14 stations in 4 countries spotted today on 2m FT8 RX. I shall probably QSY to 160m FT8 at about 1500z.
I think the vast majority of users have no real interest in Beta versions. Once the official new version is released, they'll download it then.
