I started using FT8 about 2 years ago.? I have a DigiRig interface and an FT-817, and I've worked all states and over 100 countries using only 2.5 watts (ok, sometimes I crank it up to the full 5w...).? Several months ago I "discovered" FT4, and I've found that it's easier to make contacts on FT4 (maybe because of decreased activity / QRM? Maybe because the exchange is done before the QSB sets in?).
?
Anyway, the AC Log software works great and has no hiccups with WSJTx.? When a contact is completed, it "magically" ends up in LoTW.? I've never experienced any delays or retries.? At the end of the day, I import the new contacts into QRZ using the "Import from LoTW" button that's on the QRZ page.? I believe that AC Logger can do this automatically, but I don't have a QRZ subscription.
?
Question though:? What software are you using for RTTY (I'm assuming there's something kinda sorta like WSJTx that will talk to my DigiRig interface and do RTTY)?? I've never tried PSK-31 either; what software is used for that?
