GM to all *This concerns F/H operation in 3Y0J*
During the DXpedition the team announced multiple times that they were using WSJT DXPedition Mode (F/H). However, FOX was most of the time in ODD periods and accepted reports in any spot in the channel. QSY below 1000Hz was not necessary. My QSOs with them were always like that. It took me some time to understand how to work them, which I think was the same to most of the callers. BTW, I have never seen FOX out of sync. The worst that I can remember was 0.4s. Many thought – myself included- that they were not using WSJTx, but some other multistream DXP mode application. However one of the operators confirmed to me that they have used WSJT software. After the expedition they have stated that : “ *We had issues with the FT8 due to we did not have any device to sync against, and our clock was 14 seconds off - which meant we at some time were TX odd, while we thought it was even.*” Well a simple GPS device connected to one of their notebooks would have prevented the problem above. So my questions to the developers are: a) Is it really possible that lack of sync would lead them to TX in ODD periods as FOX ? b) How come QSY below 1000 HZ was not necessary for the Hound to finalize the QSO with them? This is very intriguing to many of us. Some clarification on what happened is very much appreciated Thanks Fred PY2XB -- Fred - PY2XB PY2FXH, PY2FXH/W2, PY2FXH/9, PY2XB/0, F/PY2XB, ZX2XB, PT7BXB, PY2XB/PY0F, PQ0F <https://www.qrz.com/db/pq0f>, VP5/PY2XB, PW2IO <https://www.qrz.com/db/pw2io>(SA-071), ZX8W <https://www.qrz.com/db/zx8w> (SA-060), PY2XB/1 (SA-029), 8P9XB <https://www.qrz.com/db/8p9xb>, PQ8XB <http://www.qrz.com/db/pq8xb> (SA-045), ZX2S <http://www.qrz.com/db/zx2s> (SA-028), PR7XB W4/PY2XB, 3D2XB <http://www.qrz.com/db/3d2xb>, PY22XB <http://www.qrz.com/db/py22xb>,PY0FX, W2/PY2XB, W9/PY2XB, VE3/PY2XB, PY2XB/5 *Team member** :* PW2M <https://www.qrz.com/db/pw2m> (SA-071), PX8J <http://www.px8j.com/> (SA-041), T30PY - T30SIX <http://www.mdxc.org/t30py/> , PT0S <http://www.pt0s.com/>, 9M0W <http://www.yt1ad.info/9m0w/>
