In Chapter 2 we ended up with our computer, a time sync program, an MFJ 1204 interface, and an installed copy of WSJT-X.  Now that we have all of that in one place, what do we do with it?

This is a step-by-step guide to how I set up the most simple, yet effective, digital station I could muster.  I tried a lot of different things in the process, but this is what I ended up with.  There are more elaborate and attractive ways of going digital, but in the interest of ease and lower frustration levels, I opted in the end for simple, simple, simple.  Once you get your digital station going, you can always add more features if you wish.  The setup described below does not include a rig-control function.  Rig control is a convenience you can add later if you wish.

Good morning all you HAMmers!!  I hope Christmas was awesome and if you're still enjoying a Christmas break congratulations.  Check out the new "Projects" section under the Menu to the left.  I added this today and the first article comes courtesy of Josh Brothers, KF4KQS, with pictures of a project he worked on in GA a few days ago for a friend of his.  The way the section is setup is where you can select an article title in order to read that article.  I'll use the name of the rig, or equipment, being worked on or built, when feasible to do so, in order to give you a better idea of what the article is about an to help make it a little easier to search for later on.  I hope you enjoy Josh's project and I look forward to sharing many more. Please share your project pictures and/or videos with me so we can show the local HAMs, and the world, what you're working on.
