Hi Ed,

More details would be helpful. I appear to be having the same problem 
here on a 64bit Ubuntu 12.04LTS install. When I run WSJT from the shell 
the output from the terminal is:

WSJT Version 5.9.7 r383 , by K1JT
Revision date: 2007-05-04 23:17:52 +1000 (Fri, 04 May 2007)
Run date:   Tue Feb 12 04:07:31 2013 UTC
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wsjt/wsjt.py", line 2131, in <module>
    ModeFSK441()
  File "/usr/share/wsjt/wsjt.py", line 568, in ModeFSK441
    GenStdMsgs()
  File "/usr/share/wsjt/wsjt.py", line 1144, in GenStdMsgs
    Audio.gcom2.hiscall=(ToRadio.get()+'            ')[:12]
ValueError: could not convert string to float: W8WN

I have forwarded this on to the ubuntu-hams list. Membership in the list 
is open but only members can post. You might want to join.
