 Baker 2018 IT Support member KY7M, Lee, gives us some more FT8 Fox/Hound Observations. Hi Bernie, There are still a few folks who are not using the newest version of FT8 or have not checked the “Hound” box on the Advanced tab of WSJT-X File/Settings. However, I think a reason some folks are either sending the wrong message or are on the wrong sequence (Even, should be Odd) is that they are not following this basic instruction from the Baker website to begin their calling as a Hound: •7 Call KH1/KH7Z only after you decode one of our CQ messages. Simply double-click on our callsign in the “Band Activity” window and the software will create the correct message with which to call us and start transmitting. You will need to periodically press “Enable TX” from time to time to keep transmitting in the pileup. The DXpedition station will send a CQ message from time to time so that you should not have to wait long to select the callsign. I think some folks just hit their “Enable Tx” button to start transmitting and do not wait to “double-click on our callsign” as instructed. Finally, be sure you set your initial transmit frequency ABOVE 1000 Hz. The Fox will move you below 1000 Hz as soon as he pulls you into one of the QSO streams. 73, Lee, KY7M Baker 2018 IT Support Bernie McClenny, W3UR Editor of: The Daily DX (1997-2018) The Weekly DX (2001-2018) How's DX?
