I hope all Hounds watch this to learn and understand what is going on the Fox' side and why the Hounds have do do what K7AR tells them. Thanks to K7AR for a good presentation of the FT8 DXpedition mode. The example described from 29:43 where two Hounds were not moved to the Fox' TX frequency is caused by callers using the standard FT8 mode at above 1000 Hz and have checked "Hold TX Freq", which works just fine. However, when the caller does not move the TX frequency, the advantage of a quiet operating frequency is lost, which may jeapordize the completion of the QSO due to the likely QRM from other callers.
Great tutorial Al, tnx. A ton of good Fox/Hound info. Good luck to you and Bob on your dxpeditions!
A must watch for hounds working and foxes running DXpeditions.
One of the most helpful presentations I have seen in a long time.
i think a lot of us both enjoyed and found exceptionally helpful ! im glad you agreed Nick G4IWO

It would be cool to have FT8 Fox/Hound mode with 2,3,4 streams to practice with like MorseRunner.
Excellent presentation. 73 ZL3GAV/E6SP
