ft8mapper reads WSJT UDP output and places callsigns on map per maidenhead grid. Allows for grid chasing with grid map.
Changes:
-4.2: Tracks grids, has alerts, improved algorithms, low CPU utilization.
Read the README for all details.
To install: create a directory, unzip the files into that directory.
Run the ft8mapper.py script... run WSJT. 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.
