    The KH1/KH7Z[1] team on Baker Island started up early today with four stations on the air. KH1/KH7Z has been reported on 160 CW, 40 CW and SSB, and 20 SSB. Other bands will follow as station setup proceeds.

    The KH1/KH7Z frequency plan[2] is on the DXpedition website. DXpedition operators will be operating split. Do not call on the DX station's transmitting frequency.

    FT8 operation is planned, using the FT8 DXpedition Mode. Stations should have WSJT-X version 1.9.1 installed and be in "Hound" mode (check the appropriate box under the Advanced tab in the WSJT-X File/Settings menu).

    More information[3] on DXpedition mode is available from the WSJT-X Development Team.ÿ

    Plans call for the DXpedition to be "very active" on 60 meters.
