Working a DXpedition
Listen before you call: most DXpeditions work split, transmitting on one frequency and listening a few kilohertz up, and the operator says where. Call with your full callsign once, then listen again.
On FT8, teams using Fox/Hound sit on their own frequencies, away from the normal FT8 dial. Check the official website for the frequencies, the log search and the QSL route, and do not work the same band and mode twice.
