When working one of the non-F/H multi-streamers, I would recommend calling
them >1000 Hz above their freq, to keep their area clean.
Basically there are two types of Multi-Streaming operations:
1. F/H which is the WSJT-X Standard
2. All others, including MSHV, for which you *do not* use F/H mode. Just
call them as normal, but preferably > 1000 Hz above their frq.
I have worked many of them and the software works quite well. Most pick
their own non-standard X freq. A few don't. In both cases, I have had no
trouble working any of them in standard FT8 mode.
Operating tip: Always look for multiple streams from these dx or pseudo-dx
stations. If they are operating inside the normal X frequencies, they are
almost certain to be running MSHV or some other non-F/H compliant software.
Adjust your operating technique accordingly.
...or don't call them if their operation offends you.
