David,
Great.? Would you prefer an upload after each operating session, or one big one at the end of the event?

How will logs be managed?? Is there an email address to send ADIF files to??

I filled in some time slot for the weekend for myself and my daughter (KO4GLN). If it is open and no one has signed in I will jump on as many as I can.

What a list for me:
- First time with a Special Event
- First time with a Google Spreadsheet
- First time with Google Groups
Hope this is the way I am supposed to ask a question? The Question - If I have time open up and I am not signed up during that time, can I just find an open slot on the spreadsheet, put my call in that cell and start operating?? I am thinking I will have several windows over the weekend that I could operate I just cant schedule it for sure in advance. Justin - K4HXM?

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

Re: Digital ops - FT4/8 F&H mode?
I can give it a short try Friday night and see how it goes and report back. But " raging debate among the states/colonies as to whether this mode should be permitted." I dont understand. Isn't this ANY BAND( but no 60M) ANY MODE ? http://www.13colonies.us/bands

You're the head man for Virginia, so IMO it is your call

Re: Digital ops - FT4/8 F&H mode?
Note: my comments concern only satellite operation. I have no opinion one way or the other about terrestrial operations.

David et al,
While I do work FT4 on sats from time to time, I have never used F&H. So I¡¯m not going to get into it now. In general, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea. Imagine numerous strong FT4 signals pumping the birds¡¯ power budgets and AGCs. Also possible?passband congestion on the narrower birds.?
I am likely to do some FT4 during the 13 Colonies, but probably not a lot since I think?more ops are going to be?looking for phone or cw QSOs.

Re: Digital ops - FT4/8 F&H mode?
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.? 73, Kay N3KN
