How to run multiple WSJT-X on one computer, FT8 under different callsigns and separate QSO logs.

I wasn't, until today! Great video

Excellent tip. Running a IC7100 and FT957, wish I knew about this a while ago!!!. Thanks for posting. 73

thanks for the interesting pointers, I will try to apply it to my linux usage...

Great for using our AX call Prefix a few times a Year in VK. 73

Hello, Nice explanation and educational. Still, I wonder if you know how to log long callsigns with WSJT-X v2.6.1? We use OP70IPA (special callsign) but WSJT-X cannot report to a counter station F5HRF/P. Actually it should say F5HRF/P -15 But this doesn't work. The program keeps sending F5HRF/P and conversely you also get the same from the opposing station, so F5HRF/P But reporting and forwarding 73 does not work. Do you know the solution because you used LY33 after all? 73 the ON6AT Patrick

Hello Patrick! Thanks for watching and for raising this important question! Unfortunately there is no, to my knowledge, solution to this problem when two non-standart callsigns want to QSO. The oficial user manual of WSJT-X openly states this in the chapter 7.5 : “WSJT-X 2.6 offers no support for two nonstandard callsigns to work each other”. :(( I had this problem working with special callsigns too. As a result, among hundreds of contacts,I have no QSO’s with other non-standard callsigns in the log … I think it comes from the limitations of the software itself . I don’t know if other FT8 apps have this problem, I’m afraid , they do as they use the same backbone algorithm of the WSJT-X. I think, this problem should be solved by the authors of it in one way or another, as FT8 has become so widely popular that initial experimenter’s niche is just too tight for it. Let’s hope for this! 73! LInas LY2H

Thank You very much! I am going to use it to work the RS-44 satellite with FT-4 and I need to be able to hear myself when I am transmitting. I tried installing twice and it would not let me but I think your solution should take care of me. THANK YOU for your video. DE K8OCN

Thanks for watching! Please let us know how was your experiment going! 73! LY2H

This idea also works on Linux based computers
