 Well I just learned something... hi...

The S9OK Dxpedition is running FT8 using the Bulgarian software MSHV. They
are using multi-slot FT8 in normal mode, not F/H... They will transmit near
the center of the bandpass and listen from 200 to 3000. You can call
anywhere in that range. Also they want you to call with your grid square.
MSHV will be configured that the distant station will have priority in the
queue. 

I just now worked them on 20 meters normal mode. They were transmitting 5
slots. There is a FT8 operating guide on their website:

I have worked them F/H mode before I read the book... so it will work...
hi... but it's not necessary. One good thing, with normal mode you don't
time out after 4 or 5 transmissions, you can just keep sending until you
work them...

Have fun...
