docs(wiki): the WSJT-X relay was missing from the outbound list
Six outbound services, five documented. The missing one is the answer to the problem the digital-modes page had just finished describing: WSJT-X sends to one address, so without a relay the choice is between OpsLog and GridTracker rather than both — and OpsLog has been able to be that relay all along. Connections now lists it and explains the loop guard (pointing it at one of OpsLog's own ports would feed the stream back into itself, and it refuses) and that datagrams are passed on verbatim, with no origin header of the kind the receiving side has had to write code to survive. Digital Modes and GridTracker gains it as the unicast answer, which is better than the one it gave: OpsLog relaying to GridTracker on 2238 needs nothing from GridTracker and no multicast anywhere.

## If you have to stay on unicast

Sometimes you cannot use multicast — an old program, a locked-down network.

Then **only one program may listen on the port**, and the others are fed by it:

Then **only one program may listen on the port**, and the others are fed by it.

|

**OpsLog can be the one that feeds them.** Add an outbound *Relay the WSJT-X
|
||||
stream* row (Settings → Connections) and it re-sends every datagram it receives,
|
||||
byte for byte, to wherever you point it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
WSJT-X ──unicast 2237──▶ GridTracker ──forward──▶ OpsLog (another port)
|
||||
WSJT-X ──unicast 2237──▶ OpsLog ──relay──▶ GridTracker (2238)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
GridTracker can forward what it receives; point it at a **different** port, add
|
||||
a matching inbound row in OpsLog, and nothing competes. The one arrangement
|
||||
that never works reliably is two programs on one unicast port.
|
||||
Set GridTracker to listen on **2238** instead of 2237 and nothing competes for
|
||||
anything. Point the relay at the other program's port, never at one of OpsLog's
|
||||
own — that would feed the stream back into itself, and the relay refuses rather
|
||||
than let it.
|
||||
|
||||
It works the other way round too, if you prefer GridTracker to own the port:
|
||||
GridTracker forwards to a **different** port and OpsLog takes an inbound row
|
||||
there. Either order is fine. The one arrangement that never works reliably is
|
||||
two programs on one unicast port.
