Hi Seems people still have a complex with some modes
If you don´t like SSB, CW or FT8, just don´t do it and let the people do what they want Or just spend the money to do a DXPedition and do what you want, works 100% CW?, great!! I can tell that in the case of J28MD I worked them in many slots, included 80 and 160 mts CW and FT8, great operators 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W El sáb, 5 nov 2022 a las 20:26, Wes (<[email protected]>) escribió: > I'm far from an FT8 expert* but on F/H mode the Fox does move the selected > hound > to his frequency.
