The problem is Serge, that they picked frequencies that are normally in
use by other modes, thus causing more problems then Fox & Hounds solves,
as they did not consider the consequences of those actions.

And about the expedition using DXp without the authorization of the
development team (and who did not read the readme file either):
I find, for one, that they are doing a very good job. They found how
to publicize their expedition (freq and time),
and, with the number of bugs in the app, they manage to give a
significant number of ham reports.
look to me people you should ask how they did it! Just in case you are
walking down an improvement process.
Cheers

Everyone paying attention should already know what's contained in
this message -- but it's clear that some do not.
The current General Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X is v1.8.0.
That program version does not include FT8 DXpedition Mode.
We have made beta-level "release candidates" available for the
explicit purpose of testing FT8 DXpedition Mode. The release
candidates have included cautionary warnings to the effect that in
its present form, DXpedition Mode should be used only for controlled
testing.
A few operators or groups have ignored our warnings and tried to use
FT8 DXpedition Mode in true pileup situations. The consequences are
predictably bad -- especially when the offending operator(s) have
chosen their frequencies badly and other operators are using a mix of
program versions including v1.8.0, v1.9.0-rc2, v1.9.0-rc3, some
version of JTDX.
FT8 DXpedition Mode is not yet ready for “production” use. Until
WSJT-X v1.9.0 is fully released -- not a beta-level "release
candidate", but a full General Availability release -- DXpedition
Mode should be used only in controlled test situations.
The next public test of FT8 DXpedition Mode conducted by the WSJT
Development Group will be conducted on April 7, a little over a week
from now. You are cordially invited to join us for this test. See
the announcement posted here yesterday (Subject: WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc3:
Testing of FT8 DXpedition Mode) for details.
