Number of communicating stations in JTDX log files (2024/12/05)
I made a program to tabulate country names by time zone from log files spit out by JTDX and wsjtx This is not a useful software at all, but it is a study of Python (Python). Click here to download JTDX_time_Ver1.0.1.zip Download count: 15_
The program isPython(Python) programming language. I've tested the operation on a Windows 11 computer.python-3.13.0-amd64must be downloaded and installed.
External libraries must be installed after Python (Python) installation
pytzOnly the "*" must be installed.
pip install pytzcommand.
You now have all the packages you need to run this program.
Installation and Directory Preparation Please unzip the file JTDX_time_Ver1.0.0.zip after downloading
The program defaults to C:\Users\kueno\AppDataLocal\JTDX C:¥Logs The red text should be rewritten to match your environment. Please rewrite the red text to match your environment. To executerunjtdx_time.batPlease activate the
Execution screen of JTDX_time_Ver1.0.0.py
It is possible to see the trend of which countries were communicated with at different times of the day.

By the way, don't tell anyone that ChatGPT helped me a lot with this too! But it took two days. When I tell ChatGPT my specifications, they write a program for me, but once I start going in the wrong direction, I'm not sure I'm going to get it right. It does not heal easily. I have pointed out the mistake many times, but it is not resolved. Then you have to show them the source before the generation. Often, we find a mistake because we have moved at this time. I ended up staying with ChatGPT until 3am on the first day.
For example, this one print("Invalid band. Please choose from:\n") f"{', '.join(ALLOWED_BANDS)}\n" f"{',''".join(ALLOWED_MHz)}")
Double quotation marks in the third line are single quotation marks The last one is wrong, even though it needs to be.
