[GCARC] Jarvis Island N5J dxpedition

[Agustin Neron Properties LLC]

Hi Randy,
You have to have the latest beta version wsjt-x 2.7.0 (this new beta is not compatible with a previous version you may have installed), which has the Superfox which the N5J guys are using. Just download and install as usual for any update, when you go into FT8 mode, click on the Hound button, you will see a small red box labeled "Superhound" appear.

The new Superfox allows the DX operators to handle up to 9 calls simultaneously in a pileup. 
I don't believe the reflector will handle attachments so here is the User Document link for the pdf, https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/SuperFox_User_Guide.pdf 

I tested last night on 17m around 2AM, but never decoded them.
Heard them S5 on 20CW same time with huge pileups.
73
