I want to agree with Jim N2ADV here - WSJT-X is a great application for
weak signal work.  ACLog/Log4OM/RUMLog are great loggers that will tie to
QRZ/HamQTH/a database of US Hams from the FCC's dump/etc, and two of the
three are free (plus CQRLog and other tools).  In information systems we're
moving away from monolithic services/software toward microservice
architectures - I see WSJT-X as a weak signal microservice that talks to my
logging microservice that might also talk to FLDigi or a SSTV tool.
