He’s running MHSV because he has several contacts at one time like Fox/Hound but I worked him with WSJT-X. My contact was on 20M and had to point the beam Long path to hear him.
DXNEWS.com has been updated with his latest data I found helpful.
Double click WSJT-X “TX-1” box to disable sending your gridsquare.
Only transmit when you see him coming back to other people.
Deselect TX even/1st box (the DX will be transmitting on the first)
Don’t call him on his frequency (he’s normally around 500, I got him at 2400)
Make sure your PC clock is accurate.
Oh man, just looked you up on qrz, I thought you were a new HAM and I was trying to help. You’ve been at this much longer than I.
Good luck es 73

Subject: [eastern-iowa-dx-association] Working FT8WW / CrozetFT8WW is now operating from Crozet, the #3 most needed entity. He has been coming up on 10131kHz FT8 in using the MSHV software and is Tx on the odd sequence, ie 15/45, not the even sequence of 00/30. Big deal? Kinda.The problem is that many of the chasers are setting up WSJT-X in the Fox and Hound mode. In that mode, you can only TX on the 15/45 odd sequence as the Hound. It is difficult to understand why guys continue to call FT8WW in this set up when they obviously are not copying him since he is also TX on the 15/45 odd sequence!For those not familiar with MSHV, you MUST NOT be in the F/H mode when the DX is TX during the odd 15/45 sequence. Switch to regular FT-8 and, in this case, make sure you check the "TX Even/ 1st" box on the main dashboard. Also, since MSHV is not F/H, you can indeed TX below 1000Hz. Just make certain you are not close to, or on top of, the DX. Of course, if the DX is in true F/H mode, then you MUST TX above 1000Hz or the DX will simply not even see you.Good Luck chasing FT8WW. For us in W0, when FT8WW is on 20m (14085) around 14 or 15z, you may find he is LP. He has been very workable both on 30 and 20m thus far.73 Tom, NY0VOn Tue, Dec 27, 2022 at 7:54 AM George Briggs <k2dm@comcast.net> wrote:______________________________________________________________Thanks, Rusty.
