"If you hear us on the normal FT8 frequencies, we will not be in the multi-slot mode and working one station at a time", they say. If the number of callers is high, they will QSY to their announced DXpedition frequencies: 1844 kHz (1908 kHz for JA), 3590, 7065, 10145, 14085, 18117, 21110, 24918, 28095 and 50328 kHz. Use the locator when calling 5K0K, as "MSHV will be configured that the distant station will have the priority in the queue". Read the "5K0K FT8 Operation Guide" on http://www.cdxp.cz/. If the connection to the Internet is "fast and stable", the logs will be posted in real time to QSO Director (http://www.qsodirector.com/event/5k0k/) and  Club Log's  Live  Streams (https://clublog.org/livestream/5k0k).
