Re: [wsjt-devel] DXPedition changes?
Another horrible article by a "science writer". No references and the article itself says "not expected to be overly powerful"...apparently not even power enough for NOAA to pay any attention to it.

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXPedition changes?
Actually a couple of off-the-top ideas if the new/improved Fox mode doesn't make it into V2.0 (sounds like it won't) just to prompt some more fully fleshed ideas... #1 Limit the power on CQ calls to the power for the # of slots selected. So if the Fox wants 5 slots it always uses 5-slot power levels. Then the DXpedition can start out at high # of slots and reduce as things quiet downor perhaps some automated reduction in # of slots based on usage of the # of slots. #2 Limit the power when replying to calls to the last # of slots used. So if the Fox used 3 slots on the last transmission and is replying to anybody it just received than it uses no less than 3 slot power until it's "done". de Mike W9MDB On Tuesday, November 20, 2018, 11:12:25 PM CST, jarmo wrote: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 12:37:02 -0500 Joe Taylor kirjoitti: > On 11/20/2018 11:51 AM, Black Michael via wsjt-devel wrote: > > It was mentioned a while ago that changes would be made to the Fox > > mode to avoid the power loss for multiple QSOs going on. > Some months ago we said "The existing FT8 DXpedition mode will still > be supported, and a more powerful DXpedition mode may be offered as > well."

Has this been done? rc4 still points to the old DXpedition guide. The only change made to FT8 DXpedition Mode is to upgrade it to using 77-bit messages. User operation for both Fox and Hound is unchanged. Some months ago we said "The existing FT8 DXpedition mode will still be supported, and a more powerful DXpedition mode may be offered as well."
