[Ham-Mac] WSJT-X - Fantastic!

The JT65 QSO protocols are a bit daunting.  Once you realize that you have
only a few seconds to click on a CQ caller and that you don't have to
do much else, WSJT-X is super easy.  I made my first JT65 contact
today (Japan) and after noticing (via pskreporter) how much better the
reach is over PSK31 I may do more.

However, 6 minutes to exchange 39 bytes of fixed information isn't all
that much excitement.

Great job!  Thanks for the MacOS port!  I now have contacts on all
the major digital formats.  Quite a change from AM on 6 and 2 meters when
I had my license in 1961.  I am glad I got back into the game.
