[VHFcontesting] Passing QSOs and WSJT-X Improved

I'm surprised with all the discussion about Digital vs Analog and 
passing stations from one band to another (in the long-gone good old 
days), no one has mentioned that the latest version of WSJT-X Improved 
(by Uwe, DG2YCB) has a "QSY Message Creator" that is intended to 
facilitate exactly this passing feature.

Despite the almost-boastful name of this variant of WSJT-X, this is NOT 
a hostile fork. In fact, Uwe, is on the K1JT development team.  His 
version has many useful features, including an improved GUI with much 
smoother operation.  I have used the "improved" version for a couple of 
months, and I like it very much.  I'm looking forward to trying the new 
"QSY Message Creator" capability for the first time in the upcoming 
January VHF contest.

Take a look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt-x-improved/.  I 
think you will find it very useful.  Be sure you get the very latest RC8 
version.

73, Walt, AJ6T
