  Just witnessed a very strange FT8 sequence from TI9A on 20 meters. His
frequency jumps about 1500 Hz every other sequence... An example: 282, 342
one sequence, then 1782, 1842, 1902 the next sequence. I was calling F/H
mode. He came back to me a few times, then my reply would jump to say 282
one sequence then 1782 the next sequence. But, I never could complete. I
turned off F/H mode, called them on about 1040 with Hold TX Freq Ck'd. They
came back to me after a couple calls and I completed, got the RR73 from
them... Really strange, maybe they are using some software other than WSJT,
don't know, but I have never see that behavior before...

73,
