[Ham-Mac] WSJT on Boot Camp works

[James Duffey]

Rich - I partitioned the internal hardrive using BootCamp. WIndows resides in a 32 GB partition. 

I tired to get WSJT going on the Unix side of the Mac, but had no luck, so I bit the bullet and installed Windows. That is an expensive way to go and it looks weird to have a WIndows window on the Mac, but it works pretty seamlessly. - Duffey

I am using a Griffin iMic as the sound input device. I followed the directions in the WSJT documentation and things went smoothly. A local walked me through a JT6M QSO and a FSK441 QSO, both of which went without event. The rig is a TS2000X.
