Hello Alex, MSHV has such a mode. Unfortunately it is also capable to TX with multi carriers - and this is creating the same chaos as Fox & Hound does right now. I was a semi-rare DX stations with up to 12 callers at the same time. An 'Multi Answering Auto Seq Protocoll' with one carrier, will speed up the queue of a pile-up at the semi-rare DX.
The test and the results thereof, plus the usage of Fox & Hound in the wild, leads to the conclusion that this approach is way to complicated, either as Fox or as Hound. Posted that info http://lz2hv.org/node/10 a while ago, unfortunately - and as usual - no comment for my post, not even a 'no' or 'forget it'. Maybe because of the old rule: 'not invented here' ;-) 73's de OE1MWW Wolfgang Wednesday, May 9, 2018, 7:20:02 PM, you wrote: > On 2018-05-09 10:40, Black Michael via wsjt-devel wrote: >> There apparently was somebody on 20M FT8 last night in Fox mode from a >> relatively rare location and caused a mess on 14.074. >> Everybody though he was calling simple CQ but was Fox so wasn't hearing them >> and users were crowding the lower end of 20M trying >> to get him making even the the Fox/Hound exchange problematic. >> >> I don't think we can leave this up to "operator responsibility" as there are >> just too many out there..... > I have seen quite a few semi-rare DX stations using the Fox mode > recently.
