[CVCC] CVCC January Meeting - RTTY Contest?

[Ed Hughes]

I will play in the ARRL RTTY Roundup using mode FT8 via the WSJT-X program.
One problem with using strictly WSJT-X is that it is not capable of
tracking which multipliers have been worked & those that are needed. I 
am sure
they will eventually include this feature along with others.

It is possible to "link" WSJT-X with the N1MM+ contest program for the
purpose of having N1MM track multipliers and keep a log, in addition
to the log kept by WSJT-X. I have just been playing around with this
link-up of the 2 programs, and after making a few test qsos, it looks good.

More info by K1JT can be found here -
