add wsjtz

[km4ack]

I have been using WSJT-Z for a while now. It has some very good features that can assist with off grid operations. For example filtering, can limit the stations that you see on a small screen or allow automatic communication with specific stations. It’s also great for field contest operation.

I would like to suggest that you add it to “build-a-pi” as an option.

Thanks for all that you do for the Ham community.

This would be an awesome option for build-a-pi. I recently upgraded to Raspbian 11 and am having difficulty getting wsjtz working again. Had it working great on buster. So far no love on bullseye. I have read the documentation, but I keep getting an installation failed message that a needed package was not found.
