I've not run MSHV or JTDX on FT8 yet. My preference is WSJT-X so I don't know
how to spot a DX station running one of these clones. Is there a way to tell
what the DX station is using (when using multiple streams)?
Today I had a difficult time working 5T5PA. Nearly all spots said he was
running F/H and none said he wasn't (he probably is running F/H), but it took
longer than 10 minutes for me to complete the contact when it didn't seem like
it should have been that difficult. I was tempted to turn F/H off but I didn't.
I did finally get RR73 from him.
Are there certainly things we can look for in determining if the DX is running
F/H? If so, what are these tell-tale signs? I'm a little frustrated with the
different approaches from FT8 clones and DXpeditions that use them. It's
starting to create a lot of confusion that seems unnecessary. It would be nice
if it was possible for WSJT-X to determine if the station is running F/H or not
and display it somehow. I think if the DX is running F/H and the caller is not
(and using WSJT-X) that the caller will get a warning, but it seems we need
something more to identify F/H and non-F/H stations.
If a DX station is running MSHV and the stations calling are running F/H, is it
possible to still make a contact? Also, vice versa, if the DX is running F/H
and the calling station is not, can a QSO be completed?
Also, it would be nice if the F/H transmit timer for Hounds could be extended
longer than 2 minutes. Five minutes seems more appropriate.
