[CQ-Contest] FT8 vs FT4 in the Contest

[James Cain]

I scrolled through the WSJT-X "manual." Whew. "System Requirements" says I
need an SSB transceiver and an antenna. How old-fashioned.

Will someone let me know when the audio book is available? Or the Nifty
Guide? Or maybe plug-and-play instructions? Is Reader's Digest still a
thing? Cliff's Notes? Maybe an Archie comic book.

It doesn't appear that you've read K1JT's documentation on WSJT-X, which
includes about a dozen different protocols for different propagation and
different operating activities.
