Jim, FYI - Neil and James don't believe a clear frequency matters based on past conversations I have had with them. I contend they have never tried chasing DX where every path starts at 8000 miles (ie out of VK). The standard FT8 channels are so congested these days that trying to target working

Neil, I wish to take a moment please to outline what I see is the problem with the configuration options as a solution that everyone keeps answering with when this comes up. I dont think the case why the configuration mode changes annoy many has ever been clearly articulated. If I am tuning

Steve, Sorry that is my mistake. It was an incorrect memory based on when I was reviewing the ALL.TXT file trying to find broken log records when we got home after A35JT. (I had discovered that ALL.TXT didnt store the TX strings from the FOX transmissions - instead it only stored one string and

Joe, An observation if I may about expedition mode. I see with KH1/KH7Z that the number of Fox TX channels varies - I presume as they place more stations in the queue. As expected, the power per channel drops the more channels running so that the amplifiers can keep up. However, this has an

Joe, I am new to this list (having only realised it was open for me to subscribe to this week). I was also one of those pesky DXPedition stations who wanted to (and originally had intended to) use Expedition mode pre-GA when I reach Vanuatu on the 16th of April. I've now, out of respect of
