Alternative WSJT-Z

 I guess it had to happen! 

WSJT-X has been seriously forked. The fork is called WSJT-Z. It has a number of complicated additions but the one thing they have done, which the original specifically didn't do, is to have "Auto CQ". That is it calls CQ continuously and restarts automatically after any QSO. Kind of unattended operation. This is a bit dangerous as people will be tempted to just leave it running, against licence conditions...

Here is it running, and you can see the auto QSO's I made in the log file.

I have tried it, I don't like it, I will go back to WSJT-X.

Here we are back to WSJT-X
