My 10M FT8 contact just got uploaded to Clublog.  662 miles is a tough distance for 10 meters as it is too short for typical F2 skip on 10M.

The updates were accumulating slowly, but after an hour or so they all seem to be there.
40m from W6 last night was a zoo!  I went to bed.

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.

Fox/Hound needs to probably go away, it doesn't help.

I agree. All that is needed are agreed-to DX calling frequencies (like 14.090) and for the DX to have multi-stream capability.  There's no technical reason for callers to have to use Hound mode, there only needs to be an understanding to always work split.  Also an understanding that for the VFO frequency the DX will be at 500 Hz to say 700 Hz multi-stream and will listen up to 3 KHz, or something like that.  This is pretty much being done now with DXpeds that use MSHV.

I'm about 20 miles closer than you and if that wasn't a FT8 QSO I don't think it would've been possible on CW or SSB.  I needed 10.  Missed 10m in the previous expeditions to Sable because it is so close.

"Hound" needs to be a toggle on the main display somewhere and not yank the frequency either.  That would eliminate about 99 per cent of the awkwardness.

It has virtues in that the Fox has a queue to manage and that the logging is automatic.  When the Hound sees the RR73, the Hound knows they are logged.  With regular FT8, this is not certain.

On the Hound side, it also dispenses, 100 per cent, with the trailing "73" which is also a benefit, especially when you consider the frequency shift, which also has technical advantages in terms of completing QSOs.

559 on 160m, working EU.

Still 30 minutes till sundown here.

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.

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.

My 160m cw shows in the log now.  :)

Last HF band needed.

My T-8 (20m-10m) is a very marginal 6m antenna, as in almost useless, so probably no 6m luck even if I hear them.

Silly WSJTX question.  I googled it and failed to find another setting, but the TX enable kicks off after 4-5 calls in FH.  I have TX watchdog set to 45 minutes....What am I missing?

When you are set to hound you will only transmitt for 2 minutes. Joe Taylor designed it that way.

If you want to get around that, switch to JTDX.

As for the TX watchdog set to 45 minutes, that sounds a bit high. I have mine set to 4 minutes.

I worked it for the very first time this week. It's not an everyday activation, and it may become rarer still.

Are there missing logs for 3/21 around 2300 on 15 CW or was that a pirate? He was on 21.005.

According to Clublog they are #49, ahead of Spratley, VU7, and ZK3.
They are also loud, which means bigger pileups.
