[OKDXA] A25RU

[Jeff Martin]

Hello Mark
  F/H mode is Fox/Hound. It's a Dxpedition mode, allows a Dxpedition station to work multiple stations at the same time. The Dxpedition is the Fox, the calling stations are the Hound. In WSJT-X, go to File/Settings/Advanced/Special Operating Activity and then select Hound . As a Hound you must send above the 1000 mark. It times out after about 4 transmissions and requires a re-enable. You might want to download the Dxpedition Mode Guide from the WSJT-X website. Just another tool in the tool box...

Haven't been on FT-8 since 2019 at previous QTH.  Fired up WSJT-X tonight
just to test.  Worked an IK4, 9Y4 and a 3-lander, so it appears I've still
got things configured properly and getting out ok.

Curious what is meant by FT-8 *F/H*?  I listen on 7.060 and don't hear
anything like I might on .074, so I must not be aware of the latest modes
or practices.

I honestly find FT-8 to be incredibly boring, but it is an impressive weak
sig mode and I'd like to partake in some of the action I see posted.  Any
pointers would be appreciated.
