Log4OM cluster window WSJT-X FT8

Hi, I wonder if you can see in Log4OM, cluster window, decoded FT8 stations from WSJT-X as with CW Skimmer. Thanks Fabrizio IK6DLK

Ciao Fabrizio,
I was not aware that CWSkimmer decoded FT8 my version 2.0 of skimmer just decodes CW?

There is a RTTY version of Skimmer but I believe that's only for CW

Perhaps I misunderstand please explain?

You can make a custom filter to do this .............

But it relies on the spotter adding the mode to the comments field

Sorry Terry, I was wrong. As you can see in your tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KyeY9lHV8w CWSkimmer calls are sent to the Log4OM cluster window, do the same with WSJT-X?

No Fabrizio WSJT does not send cluster spots to LOg4OM

Hello Fabrizio,

JT Modes and also the new FT8, T10 have an own "cluster" on hamspots.net by VK3AMA.
It is only webbrowser based but it´s good for an overview. To send spots to the normal
clusters is not effective so all of this modes have it´s own "Dial" frequencies and a double
klick only will set the TRX to exactly this dial and you have to find a spotted station in
the waterfall of the software.

Better to set your TRX to the FT8, T10 or JT65/9 dial frequencies and watching the 2,5
Khz wide part of the band. If there is activity your favourite software will decode the
signals in this part if you don´t use a filter you can set in JTDX. Makes much more sense
than watching a cluster.

By the way, spotting to hamspots.net only works if you are using JTalert but this SW can
also log into the Log4OM SQLite. I prefer JTalert for my work with JTDX and WSJT-X.
