WSPR and Linux its official

This blog has lay idle for a time I have used g3zjo.blog.co.uk in preference. This has been used as a jumping off point, maybe I shall post some more here now.

I posted Linux related Ham Radio stuff here in the past so it seems appropriate to comment on WSPR having a Linux version available now.

Well done to Joe and the team. Linux really is something for the Ham Shack, I was sure that there would be a demand for both WSJT and WSPR in installable versions.

I compiled both for Linux it was good but had several foibles that needed ironing out. It was incompatible with some compiling platforms right through to some computer hardware.

It is great that to run a popular program on a popular system there is no longer the assumed need to be a 'techy type' able do do all your own de bugging. Great, can I now take off my holey Fair Isle cardigan.
