Digital ops - FT4/8 F&H mode?

David Wright K2WPM All Messages By This Member #1 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?
Ray Crafton All Messages By This Member #2 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. 73, Ray KN2K toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tuesday, June 21, 2022, 5:36 PM, David Wright <dwright@...> wrote: 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.?

Kay N3KN All Messages By This Member #3 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 toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 5:36 PM David Wright <dwright@...> wrote: 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.?

Tim Boyd AA4SS All Messages By This Member #5 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 ?

Kay N3KN All Messages By This Member #6 开云体育 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 toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jun 21, 2022, at 5:36 PM, David Wright <dwright@...> wrote: 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.?
