They operated VP6D/MM on the way to Ducie and may do the same as they
leave, if they're not too burnt out.

Clark - listen for them on 17 meter CW. I tried and tried on 20 and 40 CW one
evening last week with no success. On a whim I went up to 17 meters at about
7:00pm local time and there was VP6D calling CQ with very few takers. And the
folks he did pick off I was not able to hear. With my K3/100
This is to close out this thread.
Thanks to all who responded with suggestions all of which I had tried
including setting up the software exactly as defined on the VP6D website and
I never heard VP6D so I never called as they had requested. When I heard a
local ham get get them on one call, and

I worked them. Like you, I heard many “hounds” and no VP6 for quite a while
FWIW ... K1JT in the FT8 DXPedition mode user guide specifically says,
if you can't hear the DXPedition station, don't call them.
Item #7 for hounds says:
"Please do not call Fox if you are not receiving his transmissions. Do
not call Fox if he issues a directed CQ (“CQ EU”, “CQ 7”, …) and
If you're talking about yesterday [Mon], they were completely off the

Since VP6D is responding to multiple callers at once (on multiple
frequencies), his signal strength is reduced from what it would be if he
were making a transmission on a single frequency.
For example, if a single-freq reply from him would be -23dB, if he is
transmitting to several callers
…. And apparently something different that
VP6D seems to be doing with its transmitted messages ???
