6m propagation goes sometimes in one direction only and this same 
approach can be used :-(

Indeed, this has to stop! I think DX peditions should consider the 
following ASAP:

1) Modify the mshv software:
- If R-xx is received from a station that mshv responded to earlier 
within e.g. 3 minutes then send back R and log QSO.
- If R-xx is received from a station that mshv responded to earlier 
longer than 3 minutes ago, do not log the QSO & reset QSO state.
- If R-xx message is received at any point from a station that mshv did 
not respond to within 15 minutes, blacklist the station for 48 hours & 
possibly publish the offender information.

2) FT8 QSOs should not use livestream at all or at minimum implement 15 
min delay in publishing the data.

3) Do not publish radio control data (like KP5 does). This blind calling 
business seemed to start immediately when they saw that the radio is on 
a given band.
