[SADXA] FT8 Frequency Measurements

[D Dismachek]

Hi,
the latest version of N1MM logger has an interface for WSJT-X. The way it works is the WSJT-X logs it first then sends the info to N1MM. You need to turn off the radio control on N1MM to do this. There is setup info online for this. I'm terrible, because I also log by hand in my book. To do this I have WSJT-X pop up the log box at the end of a QSO and I copy that info to my paper log. Then I click accept and it logs to N1MM. I'm also bad because I then log it to QRZ.com. My QRZ.com has a feature that logs to LowTW. So you see I should never loose my QSO's unless all this fails! I know I'll never win a DX contest following this method, but I don't have to do all the logging at the same time. I can do the additional stuff in my down time when the bands are bad.
Regards, 
...Dennis, N6ITY

My system seems to work fine, it
takes a tad more effort to make and
log Q's, but then we need something
to do.

I have been an opponent of parallel
Serial Port configurations for some
time. It causes some folks on the WSJT
reflector and the SPE reflector to get
a tad frothy in the mouth about this.

But, the proof is in the pudding, as
evidenced by the 5 Q's with KH1
using FT8 F&H. Now that I have
figured out the idiosyncrasy the
FTDX-5KMP exhibits using FT8,
it should be even more fun.
