Ed, I just looked to make sure I was not remembering wrong and, yes, I have Fake It checked and never mess with it. To go to F/H I just go to the Advanced tab and click <Special Operating Activity> then <Hound>, <NA VHF Contest> or <ARRL Field Day> as is appropriate. I have used WSJT-X in all three events/modes with great success.
