Yes, to all this.

If Kim attended SCARS meetings, he'd have seen my DXLab presentation
at the January meeting.  :-)  I think it's on the SCARS YouTube
channel, come to think of it.  I don't go to SCARS meetings in person
either and did the presentation over Zoom, which allowed me to demo
stuff live - all SCARS meetings (and elmer nights) are Zoomed.

WSJT-X sends the right stuff to DXKeeper (over the loopback) and uses
DXLab's Commander for rig control.  I dug up the frequency list for
3Y0Jeezitscold and put them into WSJT-X - they are wisely not using
the regular FT8 watering holes.

N1MM+ Logger is a contest logger, and a good one, and talks to the
MMTTY engine (and others) for RTTY and (if I would sit and read the
directions closely) will pull decoded text in from UA9OV's CwGet.

The only difference between me and what Mr Martin describes is that
I've never played with MSHV.  And the oldest QSO in my log is from
1993 (anything log-worthy for the 2 years before that was likely as
W5YM).
