Enter Multiple WSJT-X Instances! Normally, it is easy to set a new callsign in the WSJT-X software. You can make FT8 contacts then under the different callsign. But the problem is that, in this case, the contacts you made will be logged in the same old log file within the WSJT-X together with all your other contacts under your other callsign. This would make very difficult to operate, for example, the special callsign and extract the contacts made under the new callsign into a separate logbook.
This video explains how to configure multiple instances of WSJT-X program in order to have possibility to run different callsigns and have separate log files, all on the same computer. Reading the WSJT-X user manual might be beneficial! You will also learn how to run FT8 on two radios simultaneously on the same computer!
