User Guide: Connecting WSJT-X with Your World Radio League Account #

This guide walks you through setting up WSJT-X so that it streams your contacts directly into your World Radio League logbook.

1. Sign Into World Radio League #

• Open World Radio League and log into your account.

• Keep this window open while you configure WSJT-X.

2. Open WSJT-X and Preferences #

1. Launch WSJT-X on your computer.

2. Navigate to Settings / Preferences.

3. Connect WSJT-X to your radio.

   • ⚠️ Important: WSJT-X should remain the only application connected directly to your radio, unless you are using a virtual port software.

3. Copy UDP Server Port #

1. Inside the Reporting tab of WSJT-X, locate the UDP Server Port number.

2. Copy this number — you’ll need it in the next step.

3. Click OK to close preferences.

4. Configure World Radio League Desktop App #

1. Open the World Radio League Desktop App (Or WRL Integrations App).

2. Select CAT Control & UDP

3. Under UDP Port, paste the port number you copied from WSJT-X (if different from the default).

4. Choose the World Radio League logbook you want to send contacts to.

5. Click Start Listening.

   • ✅ Do not connect the World Radio League Control app to your radio — it should only stream contacts from WSJT-X.

6. Leave the app running in the background (you may minimize it).

5. Make and Log Contacts #

1. Operate WSJT-X in your chosen mode (e.g., FT4 on 20m).

2. When you complete a contact, confirm by clicking OK in the WSJT-X logging window.

3. Open your World Radio League Logbooks section.

4. Locate the logbook you selected earlier — your contact will appear there automatically.
