AirWSJT-X

AirWSJT-X automates aircraft scatter contacts on 23 cm (1296 MHz) and higher microwave bands using WSJT-X weak-signal digital modes. Commercial aircraft flying between two ham radio stations act as dynamic reflectors. AirWSJT-X tracks them in real time, locks your rotator to the best candidate, configures WSJT-X for Q65-15s, and manages the entire QSO — from aircraft selection through contact completion.
