[SADXA] 3C2RRR on 40m FT8 (using MSHV software)

[Gene K5GS]

Just worked them: 7074, F/H.

Took about 5 minutes of calling with WSJT-X.

RR73 received as expected.

He's about a -24 to me, but his signals are up and down.

Cheers,
GS K5GS

>They're on 7.074 Mhz  FT8 and running three simultaneous transmit threads.  I couldn't complete the QSO using F&H mode so I tried again using simplex WSJT-X on my side.  Then the exchange was completed (i.e, they finished with a "W9FI RR73" message) without further problems.  They're +10 at the moment.

>It looks like they're using MSHV software on their side.  This software allows them to have several simplex contacts at the same time, but it's very confusing to those who expect them to be using standard FT8.  This choice of software is slowing down their throughput rate, but if you know what they're doing you can get through without a lot of difficulty.
