FT8: SUPERFOX & SUPERHOUNDS ---> N5J (Jarvis Island) and CY9C (St Paul Is-
land) will be the first two major DXpeditions to use WSJT-X's new SuperFox

to 2262 Hz; it can transmit up to 9 messages simultaneously without reduc-
ing the dB values received by the SuperHounds.
* The SuperHound stations transmit normal FT8 signals anywhere from 200 Hz
and up; their frequencies are not shifted down after being called.
* A SuperFox station can send text messages of up to 26 characters in
length, for example to announce QSY.
* A digital signature embedded in the SuperFox message will enable the re-
ceiving software to confirm that the signal originates from the genuine
DXpedition.
* There will be no backwards compatibility, and the use the latest release
of WSJT-X will be mandatory (candidate release WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc5 is
upcoming, bookmark https://wsjt.sourceforge.io./wsjtx.html).
