Or this one man expedition:

E6ET will be active in FT8 mode focus the 20m during the day and 40/60m during 
the night.

A 40m or 60m station will be active all night, *from 7:00 UTC (20:00 local) to 
17:00 UTC (6:00 local)*, in FT8.

Occasionally, during the day, the same station will be activated in 20m FT8

*E6ET will be able to manage up to 5 signals simultaneously* without the need 
for the correspondents to set any type of fox & hunt option but simply by 
calling E6ET as in a normal QSO.

*You do not have to set any DXpedition mode option, do not worry if you will see 
E6ET working on you and other stations simultaneously, send RRR73 and the QSO 
will be done !!*

After some unsuccessful CQ calls, the FT8 helper goes to sleep for about 2 minutes before he starts calling CQs again.   - Run mode should always be operated with "Hold Tx Freq"

An operator must be present to initiate contacts as well as logging completed contacts, and intervening in case of sequencing problems, which can occur frequently. The FT modes were intentionally written by K1JT to prevent fully automatic unattended operation. PLEASE,   know of what you speak instead of parroting what ignorant cynics tell you.  They have no life and nothing better to do than bitch and whine and moan about things they haven't taken time to understand. Do not believe everything you are told. You will be made to look as foolish as the cynics as you enable them and propagate their rubbish. I work with FT8 and FT4 daily (CW too! CWOPS 997 and FISTS #3951 amongst others) and am a WSJTX and JTDX software tester. I know the JT packages quite intimately and what's being propagated just ain't so (urban legend?). Get a life!
