Hi All,
I use Meinberg NTP with Windows 10. About two weeks ago with V2.6.1, I
do NOT remember if it was with 3Y0J, I found that my FT8 RX DECODE
matched the required time line position, about 13-14.9 seconds after the
beginning of the correct period (I believe it was EVEN). But at the
same time my TX was starting like 7-8 seconds LATE (per the red light on
the rig) BUT the reported time for the beginning of TX on the screen was
reported as "right on" e.g. 15 or 45 (in ODD). And it was being reported
late also. I was also NOT making any Qs. I figured that the TX "daemon"
was "spinning" late, so I rebooted the computer and started everything
up again (also restarted Meinberg NTP) and both RX and TX were in the
correct DT error position and I was making Qs again.
I don't know if there really is a TX "daemon" in WSJT-X FT8. I did not
report this because it was during 3Y0J activity and I was, you might
say, busy.

Hi All
If a station that looks like F/H calls 15/45 it ain't no Fox/Hound
station. It's a MSHV Multislot/channel. Because a station is TXing on
more than one channel at the same time doesn't make it a Fox/Hound station.

Fred, there were many 3Y0J pirates on, maybe you worked one of them?

*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
