An update a few days ago from the N5J team said that many callers were continuing to use an older version of WSJT-X that wasn’t compatible with the new SuperFox Hound mode that is being used. This, despite considerable pre-DXpedition press informing everyone that the software update would be required.

Apparently, complaints from enough stubborn hold outs are causing the team to capitulate on this point as they just announced:

“In response to the requests to run normal Fox Hound mode because some stations are having difficulty with the SuperFox mode, effective 00:00 UTC 16 August we will convert one of the two WSJT-X stations to the old Fox Hound method”.

I hope the real problem here is propagation related and not that radio amateurs are unable to upgrade their own software…
