My setup for WSJT-X is pretty basic. FT-991a (built in USB port) and lap top PC
for portable. To switch from WSJT-X (FT8 or MSK144) to SSB I use the A/B dual
VFOs. VFO B is on 50.125 MHz. Hit VFO A and back to the 6 Meter WSJT-X
frequencies. Use CAT control for WSJT-X. Easy to go back and forth. Noted very
little SSB activity in the recent VHF Contest on 6 Meters. No local SSB or CW
ops, and even during the Es opening; only a couple of weak ops on SSB. FT8 was
hopping.
