The WSJT project implements software for amateur radio communication using state-of-the-art digital techniques. Typical applications involve "DXing" at LF, MF, HF, and VHF+ frequencies, including meteor scatter and EME ("moonbounce"). Major emphasis is placed on weak-signal techniques.

Summary Program Descriptions:

WSJT-X supports the communication protocols FST4, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, MSK144, WSPR, FST4W, and Echo, each optimized for different sorts of radio-wave propagation.

MAP65 is designed for EME an VHF and higher frequencies. It provides a panoramic, polarization-matching receiver for the Q65 and JT65. modes.

Programs WSJT and WSPR are interesting primarily for historical reasons. They are superseded by WSJT-X.

Features

  • FT8 for general-purpose HF DXing
  • FT4 for Contesting
  • MSK144 for meteor scatter on VHF bands
  • Q65 for special purposes including EME, ionospheric scatter, and trans-equatorial VHF propagation
  • FST4 for LF and MF DXing with extremely weak signals
  • WSPR and FST4W for propagation probes
  • Echo for detecting your own echoes from the Moon

  • THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD HARD UNPAID WORK. WSJT-X v 2.4 rc4 gives me an error message intermittently. "Rig control error Do you want to reconfigure the interface? " Yaesu FTdx1200 (worked fine before). The QSO is not lost if I say yes and then just go on. The program serves an excellent purpose (probably unplanned and unexpected) the publications should include the benefit to a ham caregiver with a sick person who must be heard but not hear a speaker. Someone who has the knowledge that escapes this 80 year-old brain needs to update the documentation I can find with user-oriented info. I have had questions from hams who thought they should be using "Hound mode" . In the WSJT-X portion of your site please list other sites which may be 90-day wonder or 80 year old USER oriented. Again; THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD HARD UNPAID WORK. Pat W5THT P.S. Rating numbers to the right don't seem to work.
  • Too good not ot give it a try
  • Solid code and features. Keeps experimentation in amateur radio in the forefront.
  • I had been off the air for 21+ years because of hearing problems. WSJT-X gave me the capability of working others with the volume off, which got me back into hamming. Thanks Joe! Also, the program is an outstanding example of great software. Bill, AA4M
  • Excellent software. A1 Would love to contribute somehow (translation, new features, ...) Patrice VE2PTB/VA2PK
