History
I have give three presentations about WSJT-X. In those presentations, I have included a tinyurl link (e.g., tinyurl.com/n1sc-dcc-17) that people can write down, that redirects them to a google document with all the notes they need. This allows them to enjoy the presentation without having to try and write everything I talk about down.
I have moved these notes over from the Google document to this post instead. Hope you enjoyed my presentation!
