Hi all,
I have been writing more code in recent times and am now making available my PSK Reporter Viewer software for Win32/64 Win7-10 and, as usual, it is free of charge. A better insight as to the whys and wherefores plus a download link is available on my web site at http://www.vk4adc.com/web/software-proje...ter-viewer but, briefly, the software queries the PSKReporter.info web site with the user's callsign and displays the (eg FT8) signal reports available from it WITHOUT YOU NEEDING TO WORK THE REPORTING STATIONS. There is a work-around on the web page if you don't run the WSJT-X software on your PC.
Note that the PSKReporter site does not provide immediate signal reporting and normally displays results on map images with further information from a "log" function if you dig deeper. My software allows you to avoid using a browser (and using up a lot a screen real estate) and replacing it with a small software utility - small in program size and relatively small on screen. It automatically queries the web server every 5 minutes and displays updated signal reports for you. If you aren't managing to make actual FT8 contacts (for whatever reason), at least you will know how your transmissions are being received elsewhere around the globe.
Try it, it's free - and, while I think I now have all of the bugs out of it, please advise if you find something unusual.
UPDATED software is now available following implementation of feedback from PSKReporter.info. The original web link applies regardless of updates.

PS I have been working on 'LogView for WSJT-X', a replacement for my WSJTLogViewer application, with an inbuilt mapping feature and it should be available shortly. I will provide a link to the web page when it is....

PPS You WILL get a firewall warning since PSKRepView.exe accesses data on the WWW.
