5N9DTG ---> "There will be a lot of FT8 traffic during this activity, as FT8
is our priority", the Rebel DX Group posted to Facebook on 11 February. "We
will use Super Fox latest version on 20, 17, 15, 12, 10m together with MSHV
on the same bands, same time to increase the number of QSOs, and give a
chance to small pistols and stations with wire between the trees. Don't be
confused if you see us on e.g. 20m 14.074 and 14.090 or 21.074 and 21.091 at
the same time.
Super Fox will be used till we see low trafic, then MSHV will take over. 30,
40, 60, 80, 160m will be done on MSHV. 6m if any other - on MSHV only. CW
and SSB not very important for us, but there will be some activity as well".
