Re: Digital ops - FT4/8 F&H mode?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Having just read the instructions / guidelines (I know real hams aren¡¯t supposed to do that but don¡¯t judge me! <grin> ) for Fox/Hound operation, two things are clear to me now. One is that I would have no business trying to learn on the fly to be a Fox because I would mess up spectacularly. The other is that the software authors flat-out state that F/H is not for anything other than DXpedition-type operations and that it isn¡¯t for use on the usual FTx frequencies. So, even if I knew how to be a Fox, I would choose not to do it for 13 Colonies. I¡¯ll do plain old FT8 on the usual frequencies. On that note, I¡¯ll take Will Rogers¡¯ advice never to miss an opportunity to shut up. Have fun on Field Day, y¡¯all. 73, Kay N3KN

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?
