These are the planned frequencies according to the band plans for individual regions, while they may change depending on the current situation on the band. They will broadcast with only one station on one band . We use the MSHV program on the announced frequencies (to 6 slots) pre FT8. I am DXP (fox) we will not use F/H mode and later we can also use normal FT8 frequencies. There is also an option to use SuperFox-WSJT-X.
