I remember back a year ago when we did tests of DXpedition mode, I entered the 
DXpedition frequency into the list for the software.  I think it was 14090 KHZ,
Since then DXpeditions have done their operating on frequencies all over the 
digital subbands,and I got tired of adding their frequency to the list each 
time.  One time I decided to spin my dialto the frequency without entering it 
to the list.   The DXpedition mode worked great - it did all theQSYing within 
the audio spectrum to make the DX QSO, and the frequency logged just fine.  I 
havebeen spinning the dial without frequency entry ever since.
Fast forward to this month for Field Day where I am heading up the FT8 For 
Field Day group in Facebook.  We have a separate list of frequencies to use, so 
that we don't disrupt normal FT8 activity.Many of our members are busy entering 
these frequencies to their list.  My opinion is that they do notneed to do 
this.  Am I wrong, and am I leading them astray?   What is the down-side of 
operating on a frequency that is not on the list?
Thanks & 73,
