Just for fun (isn't all amateur radio?) as the nights start to draw in I am going to see if can build a pseudo auto 160m qrp station for FT8 based on (WSJT-X Version 1.8.0-rc2) https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html and, have it running through the winter on 160m (when I am in the shack anyway) so that it kinda makes automatic qso, calling CQ of course not S&P... I wonder how long it would take to work a few DXCC qrp? Yes I know it doesn't do this automatically I will have to augment the source to do this.
Might even use a Wellgood loop for the 160m RX. Inverted L for the TX antenna.
This has already been looked at by a few and I think there are Windows 'capture' versions out there already. So I'm going to see what can be done using the Linux version. wsjtx-1.8.0-rc2.tgz
Looks like will need a homebrew SSB TX (maybe the qrp2004, but just 160m) https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/qrp2004/fileshttp://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/qrp2004/ and https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/qrp2004/files and a dedicated laptop.
