Hi all,
Some here may not already know that not all the early FT8 QSOs made it
into the first upload from KH1/KH7Z to ClubLog. They have now caught up
a bit further.
Some statistics of currently uploaded QSOs:
Mode QSOs DXCCs
--------------------
CQ 13,571 105
SSB 8,986 102
FT8 7,719 95
RTTY 188 27
--------------------
Total 30,464 124
The KH1 setup includes 3 CW stations, 3 SSB stations, and 2 digital
stations. Even so, and despite the fact that some time at one of the
digi-sstations has been devoted to RTTY, FT8 is producing nearly as many
QSOs as SSB.
Openings between AJ10 and the US Northeast have been spotty and weak...
but I'm happy to have them in my log now on both 20 and 30m. :-)

I do not consider their endorsement of FT8 to be lukewarm, at all.
Currently they have uploaded 12,319 QSOs to ClubLog:
CQ 4,735
SSB 4,507
FT8 3,077
-----------
12,319
One of their intentions was to run CW amd SSB when band conditions are
good, when QSO rates can be highest. FT8 works well even in poorer
conditions. I believe they are happy with their decision to use FT8 and
its DXpedition Mode.
They would be even happier if more people used the correct software and
followed the Hound operating instructions, preferably with a dollop of
common sense.
