Digirite is NOT an option for WSJT-X. Not only is it very difficult to
use, It does not do any of the other modes used for VHF-UHF contesting and
have very crude display setting/options. The only advantage of Digirite
over WSJT-X using UPD broadcast is the dupe checking before working
function.
I've been a serious diehard user and supporter of Writelog for many many
years, but I am finding it falling behind in being able to be used reliably
with the newer digital modes. For me the biggest advantage of Writelog
over any other logging/contesting package is the ability to direct connect 4
rigs at once. For multi-band VHF contesting this is a HUGE plus. But it
has also become a disadvantage because it is only limited to 2 Omni-rig
connections and is not compatible with Omni-Rig 2, that now does 4 radios.
WSJT-X needs to talk to the radios, as does Writelog. Omni-rig keeps
Writelog viable for me, but the 2 Omni-rig connection limit was an operating
burden this past contest. I hope it gets resolved, otherwise I need to
rethink my future conrtest logging options.

I agree with Jim. Use DigiRite. It's a bit of a learning curve but you have
enough time to play with it, and it really isn't that difficult. The more
direct link is:

On the right side pane, there's a direct link to download.
There's also a groups.io group specifically for DigiRite.
