We seem to have a literacy problem on this list which I'm getting very hacked
off about
I realise that English is a language that sounds the same but since getting
Websterised
on the American continental mass no longer translates to the same meaning.
But if the original post was properly read I was offering help to Paul, not
trying encroach on the
PPA kingdoms..
And while having a moan, how about the option on wsjtx without hamlib, there
are still a few hams
that know which end of the soldering iron gets hot and build our own
transceivers, and dont wish to
make them remote controlled
But your answer does explain why for so long the only prebuilt wsjt package
available to linux
users has been 5.9, one rule for linux and another for windows
