I'm trying to work them on 10m FT8 right now... (10m is the last HF band I need CY0 on) They are very strong with 5 or so streams. Then they will go a cycle with nothing... then a couple more cycles transmitting... then one, even two with nothing. It doesn't act like propagation fading as it's all or nothing.
If it is what is happening on 20m FT8, they bounce back and forth between frequencies. For a few cycles they are just above 14.091, then the next few cycles they will move down 2 KHz or so, and so on. Very odd.

There are issues on 20m FT8 -- more than just the time sync.

I noticed that they do not TX all the time. There are periods they will skip every other of their TX cycles. When they resume, the same calls are still being serviced for the most part.

They TX mostly with 5 streams, the third stream is almost exactly on 1000Hz. So 2 streams under and 2 streams above 1000Hz. That must cause problems with the F&H standard.

There were times when the streams seemed to shift around 400Hz lower. I cannot say for sure it was their signal because I had no decodes of those, but it coincided with when they were supposed to be on TX and were not on the expected frequency.

The above could all be happening on my end, who knows. Just mentioning them in case others noticed something similar.

I worked them on 40 cw yesterday, but no qsos in the log for 40 meters, was it a pirate?
The log was just updated, but you are not in the log on 40m CW. My 40m CW QSO from last night is there so most likely you worked a pirate, or your call was busted.

Yes, I will try and work them again, thank you  ;)

There are issues on 20m FT8 -- more than just the time sync. I described it in detail on their Facebook group if anyone is interested, but the main takeaway is that they do not seem to be hearing callers in the upper part of the pileup. If you have your VFO set to something like 14091.3 as I did, you need to call below 1600 or so. I was calling above that for HOURS without getting a response. As soon as I moved to nearly on CY0S' frequency, I was answered straight away. To think of all that time I wasted...  :P

Oh well, at least I am finally in the log!

Is your 20m QSO in their log? Do they have their log in some other web site other than Clublog? I worked them very early this morning on 20m FT8, but Clublog statistics still shows ZERO QSOs on 20m.

I just worked them a few minutes ago so I will not yet be in the log. As far as I am aware of,  ClubLog is the only place you can find their log. I have seen others reporting potential missing QSOs, so be aware of that as well.

So I'm done unless a miracle happens and 6 meters opens up. Lets hope so.
They were spotted on MSK144 mode on 50.260 around 2300z. I've copied a few stations calling them but nothing from CY0S. I have Sable on 6m from 2008 (SSB) but MSK would be an interesting mode to work them on for sure.

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

Interesting.. I saw that one and only spot as well. I listened over there but nothing heard (one MSK transmission but I wasn't quite in that mode yet). Well, hopefully soon they'll be on 6 for some time.

40m they're loud and the pileups are still big. I don't need them on 40 for any challenge points but I am trying with my QRP rig for my QRP DXCC totals. Probably best to wait several days. I think they did call me once or twice (they almost had my full call) but I got stepped on by folks calling out of turn and I think they moved on.

I did get them on 160m, but had to wait until it was fully dark here.  Long, slow QSB.

Think I did, but not sure. Cop decided to key up on him.. signal was up and down.

Ditto

Just checked and my 10m FT8 QSO is not there... yet. Upload was after my QSO time, but that may not include 'all logs', might just be one station. I am still hopeful. - I am now in the 'if only' category with satellite & 6m.

I described it in detail on their Facebook group if anyone is interested
I went and read it... the guy explaining that they are using WSJT-X with N1MM and the 'fake it' part... sounds like he is right on the money. And no, one does not need to use Hound mode to work them. Fox/Hound needs to probably go away, it doesn't help. I worked them using regular mode and did NOT move streams and got through to RR73 twice. The problem with the way the Fox/Hound mode moves you down to where they are at is the clueless people calling on THEIR frequency and then covering up your reply. I just stay put and their software will still answer.

Looks like the logs are getting uploaded piecemeal.  My 160m QSO hit ClubLog almost immediately, but I have several others, both CW and FT8, that haven't shown up yet.

I don't really need them but I have noticed that one of there CW Op seems to be having problems.  Sometimes he kind of glitches in his responses and other times I get the feeling he is having a hard time picking up call signs due to the speed.

I have no idea why they are not on SSB!  There signal is good, they could easily be working a lot of stations on SSB.

i have 40cw ,30m ft8 17cw and 12 ft i worked them on 20m but no 20m logs are up atm . they have been quite workable and they have listened for us vk's which is great we have  alot of storms here so 80m will be a stretch i have seen them sporadically on 10m so im hopeful but not counting on it its been a very good atno for me. now to find them on 15m lol :)

Their log is showing 20m ft8 now. Problem is the stats page is only showing that there were only 23 20m FT8 q's.
They made  way more than 23 for sure and I got a 73 but I did not show. Oh well I went ahead and worked them again just now.
