Copied them nicely on 12m FT8 this morning, but couldn't tell if they were running F/H or MSHV.  Called them using F/H just in case.  No luck but should be able to get them on digital soon if they stay this strong.

The way you guys are shouting over one another for 2 to 3 minutes straight on 18.155 is shameful.

Especially the Slicksters..."ya I copy you 58 in Central Missouri"...when you know damn well you didn't get
acknowledged.

Sounds like a nest full of angry hornets.

MSHV   -  their FB page says so.  Got them on the modern mode on 12m this afternoon.    The 12m station had a problem with their PC clock today. It was off more than 1 second.  I ran JTSync and sync'ed my clock to theirs.  Trying to get them on 17m on one of the legacy modes right now.

Been lucky so far. I worked them with not too much difficulty on 30m CW last night, first call on 30m FT8, and second call on 12m FT8 a few minutes ago. They have been very strong on all bands I have worked them on! And yes, they are using MSHV. I placed my TX low in the band where no one else was calling and got called right away.

Strong signal and they have complete control of the Pileup so things are well managed.

Already hearing them on 80m using a dipole with an s6 noise floor in full daylight at my QTH. Wow!

Nary a gnat fart so far in the great PNW.  Saw the hordes to the east calling on 12, and scattered decodes from time to time, but no success.  Even the local big guns didn't spot them at all.  Beam heading is 3.

Oh boy, Mason, you are fast!!! I was ready for them to show up on 20m. As soon as I received my DX alert, I run upstairs to my radio only to hear 3B7M finishing a QSO with you on 14.030!!! You were faster than me.  ;D ;D ;D

It is very rare that that happens... usually you beat me to the punch!  ;D Fortunately I already had my radio running and ready to go when I got the HamAlert notification on my phone. Since they didn't get spotted on the cluster by W3LPL which usually happens right away, they had essentially no callers. He worked maybe 4 stations, called CQ a few times with no response, and then went QRT.

Not QRT, just QSY to FT8. I'm starting my radio now again.

I did hear them here in Spokane on 30M Mike, but they were not loud enough to try for a QSO. Right now they are suppose to be on 30M FT8, but no decodes so far. And as far as I know, nobody from our DX club has worked them yet.

Great signals in New England despite poor conditions over the pole the past two days.  Been looking for Z23 on 10M and that path hasn't been open since the the end of the 24th.

Thanks for the tip, John.  I really am only looking for 10 and 12, and I've already decided that hanging around the rig isn't likely to be productive for this one.  I'm just gonna hope that Sol does us a favor and the local big guns let the rest of us know.  Good luck to you over there, and stay warm.

Holy crap! Hell froze over! I got him on like my 3rd try on 80M FT8. My weak station is usually one of those that got to get them late in the DXpedition, when the piles die down. It's not supposed to be this way! LOL
