[LCC] KH1/KH7Z is on the air!

[Charles Morrison]

I nabbed them on 30m FT8 first early yesterday.  Although I figured what
they were doing with the split and I manually worked them, I'm not certain I
was logged or not.  I called on one split frequency, they came back, but Im
thinking they were still new to the F&H as well because none of the stations
ever appeared to actually receive a 73RRR or anything to confirm the QSO.
Just the yellow where I called, and the red where they replied.  At the time
I didn't have it set for F&H mode.

I reread through the document and set up WSJT correctly.  When I worked them
on 17m, I noticed that I actually received a RRR 73, as were other people on
the frequency.  So I'm second guessing the validity of my 30m qso now.
Either way they're in the bag on digital now, as well as 20m and 15m SSB and
CW.

I just worked them on 17 meter FT8 using the new DXpedition mode in WSJT-x
(also known as FOX and HOUND). Not the strangest thing I've ever done in ham
radio, but pretty close. Not much skill to it. Just mainly reading the
instructions and guessing what's going on, then watching the magic happen. I
started calling them on 2207 hz, then my transmit frequency was
automatically changed to 356, then 656 Hz by the program. They were only -19
at best and I was running the amp at about 400 watts. They gave me a -03 so
probably didn't need the amp.

I still don't get what's happening, but apparently it works. Don't ask me
how to do it because I really don't know. Read the instructions from the
Help menu in WSJT-X and to "FT8 DXpedition Mode User Guide".

I only wanted to work them on this new DXpedition mode on FT8. I have them
on 10-80 meters all modes already. My Pixel loop is off the tower for 160
receive so maybe "next time". Right!

For some, this will be an all time new one.  I worked them this morning at
1130 UTC on 40m CW.

I found a cool propagation tool that makes a custom prediction from Baker to
your QTH!
