## What is AirWSJT?

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.

DESKTOP FEATURES
• Real-time aircraft tracking with scatter score ranking
• Automated rotator control via Hamlib
• Full WSJT-X integration over UDP — frequency, mode, and QSO sequencing
• Contact state machine: CQ → signal report → RRR → 73
• Multi-source aircraft data: OpenSky Network, ADS-B Exchange, dump1090
• Station grid override database with remote sync
• Support for multiple simultaneous WSJT-X instances

MOBILE FEATURES
• Standalone aircraft tracker — no WSJT-X or rotator needed
• Compass rose with bearing needle and elevation arc
• Speech callouts for hands-free antenna pointing
• Offline callsign lookup via callook.info
• OpenSky and ADS-B Exchange data sources

BUILT FOR MICROWAVE OPERATORS
Designed for the 23 cm and above amateur radio community. Whether you're running a fixed station with rotator control or pointing a dish by hand in the field, AirWSJT-X helps you find and work aircraft scatter contacts that would otherwise be missed.

REQUIREMENTS
• WSJT-X 2.6+ for full desktop operation
• Hamlib-compatible rotator for automated tracking
• Aircraft data source account (free OpenSky or ADS-B Exchange)

AirWSJT-X is open source and free. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
