Claude, I recommend that you use the same frequency plan as the upcoming Kosovo FT8 DXpedition, Z66X. The team followed the recent Baker Island frequency plan with the exception of the change to the 6 meter frequency to 50.323 MHz (which was based upon our recommendation). The one concern wit

It appears that when the fox gets busy, its response can be greatly delayed, which leads to wasted extra calls from the hounds trying for a roger from the fox. As others mentioned, perhaps the fox should give rogers higher priority than signal reports to newer hounds. (Also, maybe the hounds
