Wasn’t there a dxpedition recently that inadvertently had their clocks off by 13 (?) seconds, and no one could work for them because they looked like they were on the “wrong“ period?
A few people were able to work around the limitations above, or set their own clocks off by an equivalent amount, and were able to work them.
So Murphy will always stick his nose in, and there’s almost always a workaround.

And for additional clarity - something many OP may not try. If you try to switch to Fox mode on a std frequency, you will be met with this popup

You will not be able to TX in until you switch back to Normal mode or change to a non-std frequency.
Those msg for different stations in a single stream and on the
same time is mandatory for FT8DX Mode (WSJT-X F/H) but they can
also be made by the MSHV Software and if a Station is TXing on the
15/45 periode and send out those msg for different station it
can't be WSJT-X and it's not the real FT8DX Mode. A station in
real Fox/Hound Mode (FT8DX) can't TX on 15/45 periode and can't on
a standard FT8 QRG. A real Fox/Hound Station will always in TX
00/15 periods and always on a non-standard FT8 QRG. So if the
DX-station is wringting somewhere that he or they will work on F/H
mode on a standard FT8 QRG it cant be. That will be MSHV MADX
(Multi-Slot) Mode witch is Pseudo Fox/Hound Mode - It looks like
F/H Mode and it acts like F/H Mode but it ain't the real thing.

The messages had different reports for different
stations in a single stream., my understanding is that this
must be WJST-X F/H..
It becomes more often
that I see Fox/Hound stations making QSO's
in the wrong period.
When I check my own time it is exact,
according to time.is
Today again, I noticed a Fox in the wrong
(odd) period together with some Hounds
transmitting in the for them correct (odd)
period.
But a few Hounds managed to transmit in the
wrong (even) period enabling a QSO.
I wonder how these Hounds are able to follow
in the wrong period?
