[HCARC] A bit of a chuckle

I was going to start playing with FT8.  I spoke with W5BGP, and he 
helped me, but I couldn't find anyone working, and couldn't get out if I 
did see someone.  For giggles, I installed WSJT-X over on my ubuntu 
linux side and bam, I could see folks everywhere!!!

Ubuntu didn't like my signalink, so I switched back to windows ten, and 
I could see folks everywhere just like on the linux side.  After some 
more playing, I made a dozen contacts in about a half hour.

The reason I'm sharing this is sometimes a fix can be found in the 
strangest ways LOL.  I have no clue why it worked, since the software is 
completely independent of each other, but I wanted to toss it out there.
