I plan to use FT8 some of the time for K2B and I operate the mode a lot for my own fun.? Done well, F/H certainly maximizes the number of people who can log the desired station. If chasers don¡¯t take the time to learn the fairly simple ropes for operating as a Hound, they will be annoying. The same, of course, can be said of chasers who don¡¯t know how to behave in a phone or CW pileup.?
I have never operated as a Fox, only as a Hound. I don¡¯t think this event would be a good time for *me* to learn how to be a Fox. I want to help people have fun, not irritate them by not knowing what I am doing and messing up.?
On the whole, I don¡¯t see the virtue of prohibiting F/H. It feels to me a lot like trying to micromanage other people¡¯s fun.?

Any K2B ops who want to use F&H mode in FT4 or FT8, there is a raging debate among the states/colonies as to whether this mode should be permitted.? As my digital operation is zero, can you opine??
My understanding is this is a mode only used by DXpeditions, and allows them to harvest 100-plus QSOs per hour.?
Do we care?? Should we care?
