FT8-Helper V2.5.0 for WSJT-X - v2.6.0

The FT8-Helper program was developed as macro extension for the WSJT-X using the Quick-Macro program. Comparing to similar FT8-Robots, this program is more “intelligent”, it interprets the received messages of WSJT-X and acts according to the own pre-programmed QSO strategy. The delivered EXE file contains the licence for Quick-Macro.

The FT8-Helper controls WSJT-X via virtual mouse and keyboard commands. When the FT8-Helper is running, you should not use your computer for other applications, as the mouse focus will be caught by FT8-Helper every  7,5 or 15 sec depending on the Mode FT4/FT8.
