[Ham-Mac] WSPR for Mac

[James Duffey]

Boot Camp is not a virtual machine. In Boot Camp, the Mac is a real Intel machine running Windows. 

None the less, I ran across Virtual Box after I installed WSJT on Boot Camp, so I did not try installing it on my machine. I would like to hear from anyone who has done this though. I still think you need to buy a copy of Windows though even with VirtualBox, so cost wise little is gained, other than not having to reboot the machine. 

I do know it will not run in Crossover, a Mac version of Wine though. I tried that. - Duffey

It works fine with Bot Camp though, but Windows is not free. If you have a copy of Windows, or am willing to buy one, this is the way to go. - Duffey
