Claude,
I recommend that you use the same frequency plan as the upcoming Kosovo
FT8 DXpedition, Z66X. The team followed the recent Baker Island
frequency plan with the exception of the change to the 6 meter frequency
to 50.323 MHz (which was based upon our recommendation). The one concern
with the plan is that you might experience a conflict on the non-WARC
(primarily 20 meters) bands on a weekend if there is a scheduled RTTY
contest. There is no simple means of avoiding this type of conflict and
hopefully we can all agree to share the digital bands among the digital
submodes on weekends.
The Z66X frequency plan (as well as the KH1 plan) does not publish a FT8
DXpedition mode frequency for 160. I can speak for the KH1 operation
where we did not plan to use the mode on that band. We did use the
regular FT8 mode on 160 on 1.840 MHz and indicated that we were not in
DXpedition mode by transmitting above 1 KHz. It is a challenge at this
time to find a single frequency that provides world-wide access and we
could not determine a simple way to operate split to work Japan and DXCC
with limitations on frequency use.
Hopefully this will be adopted by other DXpeditions and provide a
logical process of finding and working rare DXCC entities on FT8
DXpedition mode.

FT8 Lead on KH1/KH7Z

Hi All,
What are, at the present time, the recommended operation frequencies for
the FT8 DXpedition mode ?
Best wishes,
