Thank you to Patricio (LU5AKF) for sharing with us the release of HamRadioWeb.com's new FT8 WSJTx JTDX remote control Android app. Previously, we posted about HamRadioWeb's browser-based remote FT8 and FT4 receiver, and this Android app seems like a natural continuation of their software.

The app allows amateur radio operators to remotely control their JTDX or WSJT-X station from any Android phone or PC — no VPN, no port forwarding required.

What operators can do with it:

• Monitor real-time FT8/FT4 decodes and band activity, just like sitting in front of JTDX or WSJT-X
• Respond to CQ calls and transmit CQ remotely
• Check where your signal is being heard via PSKReporter
• Explore a worldwide activity map and a public DX spot page
• Keep a contact log — auto-detected or manually added/imported
• Follow community rankings and chat with other operators

The station connection is handled by a free Windows companion app (HamRadioWeb Companion) that links JTDX or WSJT-X to the user's account.

No radio at hand? The app opens in demo mode with simulated data so anyone can explore before creating an account.
