I use the logging feature in WSJT-X. It does record the frequency and
signal reports in FT-8 mode as well as others. From this I export the
ADIF file to my logging program and upload to LOTW.
The issue I've encountered it that the ADIF Standard does not have the
FT-8 mode. Thus it is not correctly identified in either QRZ.COM log or
LOTW. Until the ADIF Standard is updated, we seem to be stuck. The
standards committee has been alerted to the needs.
Here are a few lines of my log from WSJT-X. Looks like all the data
needed is present. As you can see from my log, the frequency is not
"standard" with the band but the real frequency is recorded.
The sequence is: Date, time on, time off, call, grid, frequency, mode,
sig sent, sig received, power, mode, sent and received signal reports.

Rig control with WSJT is over rated. The only functionality I am aware
of is one click band change. I suppose if you uses its logging
capability, it would put the freq in there. However, the frequency
is the same for all QSO's within a band.
The present release for FT8 only has a blank frequency list.
So one doesn't even get that functionality.
I never got WSJT to work over a LPBRIDGE virtual port with the K3. It
only works via a direct connect port. WSPR has the same problem.
So I do without the above and manually log QSO's in the logging
program window. With JT65 that was fine. The higher QSO rate with
FT8 makes this more of a pain.
The above simply reflects my experience. I'd be happy to hear about
workarounds others have found.
