WSJT-X Version 2.5.4 with Bug Fixes Released

The WSJT development group has released an updated version of WSJT-X — version 2.5.4 — which it’s calling a “bug fix.” The primary fix repairs a defect that caused occasional crashes when contacting stations with non-standard call signs. It also allows MAP65’s “best-fit Delta Phi (Dphi)” solution to be displayed to the user.

The WSJT development group also has welcomed new members Chet Fennell, KG4IYS, and Dr. Uwe Risse, DG2YCB. “Each brings important skills and experience[s] to the project, after the loss of Bill Somerville, G4WJS,” said Joe Taylor, K1JT, on behalf of the group. “The newly constituted group has been working to redefine standard operating procedures for new releases.”

Installation packages for WSJT-X are available for Windows and Linux. An installation package for macOS will be added soon - http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html

WSJT-X version 2.5.1 released

The development team have announced the General Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X version 2.5.1.

This release mainly contains improvements and defect repairs related to Q65 and JT65 modes when used with non-standard and compound calls. Also included is a new feature for microwave aircraft scatter, and repairs for defects detected since the 2.5.0 GA release.

A full list of changes can be found in the Release Notes - https://physics.princeton.edu//pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes.txt

IMPORTANT: If you expect to use the JT65 or Q65 modes to make weak-signal QSOs that involve a nonstandard callsign, be sure to upgrade to WSJT-X 2.5.1!

Free Online Examination Study Tool

A new free online examination study tool has been created called RadioMentor.net

It was originally set up to help USA students prepare for their amateur radio licensing examinations, however, through their partnerships, they have now expanded their training team to cover multiple countries across the globe.

RadioMentor aims to provide all students (for free) with the resources they may require in order to successfully pass their amateur exam on the very first attempt.

In addition, RadioMentor aims to facilitate lifelong friendships between students so that they can continue learning from each other into the future well after the formal exam stages have ended.

Mock Exams

Mock examination papers are a critical tool required for any successful training class. As such RadioMentor aims to ensure that students gain as much experience as possible prior to the big day.

Online Workshops

Expert mentors and tutors are available to assist students with all of the questions you may have regarding the hobby.
