Have you tried monitoring you WSPR transmitter on your FT-817 & WSJT-X (without an antenna) to see if you are decoding yourself?
Yesterday my WSPR-AXE-CW stopped working even though I could hear the signal on the WSPR freq. After doing the check on my IC-705 & WSJT-X, I wasn't getting any decodes. Turned out to be the programmable IC wasn't working. Lucky I have a few spare IC's and the programmer. So loaded the code on a new IC and seems to working fine again and getting spots in EA8 this morning.
No, I have not tried trying to see if I can copy and decode myself. Definitely worth a try. I have 2 other ways of getting on 10m TX WSPR (or FT8) using the FT817 or IC705.
