Hi Grant, there is no need  to download anything.  It is all on the DX 
station to use MSHV.  You just call them with a normal FT8 program, 
WSJTx, , JTDX etc.. MSHV is actually a FT8 program but you dont have to 
use it to work the DX stations using it in a multiple station pickup 
option.  MSHV is a FT8 program similar to WSJTX, JTDX and was written by 
LZ2HV but I have never tried it.. I am a fan of JTDX.  There is a 
tutorial on his site if you are interested but think I will stick with 
JTDX.

What I have seen of that MSHV DX end option I like it better than 
Fox/Hound as you dont have to do anything in regard to your normal FT8 
program and you dont have to re-Enable the calling function every 2 
minutes like you do in the other FT8 programs.
