DJ7NT

DJ7NT is an independent publisher whose open-source projects orbit the ham-radio ecosystem, supplying lightweight bridges that let digital-mode enthusiasts merge separate applications into one coherent logging workflow. Its single public offering, WaveLogGate, acts as a protocol translator: it listens to the UDP traffic generated by WSJT-X, JS8Call and similar WSJT-* suites, reformats the decoded messages, and injects them together with FLRig frequency data into the MySQL database used by the WaveLog web-based logbook. The result is a fully automatic QSO journal that needs no manual retyping, no adif export, and no rig-control conflicts; operators can watch FT8, MSK144 or WSPR contacts appear in real time while still using their preferred transceiver front-end. Typical deployments see the utility running headless on a Raspberry Pi perched beside the radio, although Windows and Linux desktops are equally common; contesters value the instant band-change logging, DX-hunters like the immediate award progress updates, and digital experimenters appreciate that the gateway is transparent enough to let FLRig continue driving CAT, PTT and antenna switches without extra virtual ports. Because the code is MIT-licensed, clubs often bundle it into custom images for field-day or emcomm setups. DJ7NT’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the latest upstream release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other amateur-radio tools.
