Hello All, I went into ft8 today and played around with the 1 free message
available on the 2nd page of wsjtx, It looks like we have 13 characters
available to us there, So this is what I came up with, Sending (qsya150wd9exd)
QSY (obvious) use arrl vhf modes A =50 B=144 C=222 D=432 E =1296 etc. so a150
is 50.150 b174 is 144174 c100 is 222100 d174 is 432174 d200 432200, Now my
call being large eats up letters, With short calls you can mix it up a little,
Also answers rrrqsynow or rrqsywd9exd. WB8LYJ/R would have to drop the r but I
dont think thats a big deal. This would probably only work for contesters, This
would have to be done after the initial qso was completed so wsjtx could log
the 1st qso and it wouldnt screw that qso up, Or you could call me again after
we worked and I would let the computer answer you again and at that time you
could change the message to show what frequency you are looking for, So dont be
so quick to hit me with a dupe msg, Now I think we can do thi
s with the one free text message available, I still think maybe we could get
the wsjt people to give us another page, I got greedy asking to change page 2
,If they could ad a 4th page with places for 6 or so messages we could preload
a couple and modify a few as we needed them. This is a THOUGHT, Please test it
out, Im not big on the free msgs yet but I see a few out there that are pretty
fast, If it looks doable we would have to get the word out, TNX 73 Marshall
