Many other amateur radio stations use the N3FJP Logging Software,
primarily for logging ARRL Field Day and Winter Field Day contests.
The addition of Field Day exchange capabilities to WSJT-X has made the
use during FD of FT-8 a major improvement and has increased its use
for FD.
Many stations now utilize Raspberry Pi computers running WSJT-X under
various forms of Linux. (Mine is Raspbian Stretch)
N3FJP unfortunately only runs on Windows based computers.
Herein lies the problem - A way to export the WSJT-X log entries
(packets) to the N3FJP software.
WSJT-X appears to utilize UDP communications with N1MM Logging Software.
N3FJP utilizes TCP communications to import the logging packets from
other communications packages such as FLDigi. N3FJP acts as a TCP
Server on a Windows machine and FLDigi as a TCP Client on a Linux
machine, interconnected either by Ethernet cable or by WiFi.
Proposal: It would make things appear seamless if WSJT-X could also
act as a TCP Client, running on the Linux machine, sending the
appropriate logging packets to the N3FJP Server on the Windows machine.
The FLDigi implementation sends the callsign to N3FJP as it is first
collected by FLDigi, allowing N3FJP to check for duplication (DUPEs).
As long as WSJT-X is checking for dupes, it may not be necessary to
send the call across prior to completion of the FD exchanges.
WSJT-X can send the complete contact log information across, in proper
order, to N3FJP at the completion of the contact.
Any and all information about the N3FJP software is provided by its
creator/owner to help further the interconnection capability and
utilization of his software.
Thanks for your consideration,

Terry,
JTAlert can nearly do this for you. Unfortunately to make setup easier
JTAlert reads the WSJT-X settings file and also expects the WSJT-X
process to be running on the same machine. It may be worth asking
Laurie, VK3AMA, if there is a way for JTAlert to do without those same
machine requirements. The bulk of JTAlert communications with WSJT-X are
via the WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol, which will run just fine over a
network connection.
