I’ve had the HamAlert banner displaying on my [QRZ.com](http://QRZ.com) page for a long time. A few days ago, it stopped updating whenever I called CQ in FT8 and got spotted. I haven’t changed anything as far as software so I’m not sure why it stopped.

It is showing up when I call CQ using CQ.

Is there something that I can look for, maybe in WSJT-X, to troubleshoot the problem?

Hi Steve,  
I think, this is because of:

Bjoern,

Thank you. That would make sense. It just seemed like one day it was reporting and the next it wasn’t, which made me think that I had broken some setting somewhere.

> Due to optimizations on the HamAlert backend (based on a proposal by @KD0BTO, see [FT8/FT4 spots & backend scalability](https://forum.hamalert.org/t/ft8-ft4-spots-backend-scalability/878)), the CPU load of spot processing has been reduced significantly, and therefore the filtering of FT4/FT8 spots from the least wanted DXCCs has been tentatively disabled. All spots from RBN and PSK Reporter are now processed again at the moment, while the situation is being reassessed.
