ft8mapper reads WSJT-X UDP output and places callsigns on map per maidenhead grid.
3.0 - adds filtering options for message windows, and ability to clear stations from map by band.
1.0.1: Fixes annoying startup bug some users experienced
To install: create a directory, unzip the files into that directory.
Run the ft8mapper.py script... run WSJT-X. You may have to change the first line of the script to point to a different Python 3.x interpreter location. Alternatively you can run as "python ft8mapper.py" or on some systems "python3 ft8mapper.py".
Wait for results.
Enjoy.
