[VHFcontesting] Any other rovers running MSK144

[n12614 at aol.com]

Mark,
 
I am really interested in adding this to a rove so please keep the comments on the reflector.  I have yet to use MSK144, so I am asking from ignorance.
 
Have you tried spelling out Rover as in VE7AFZ Rover?

Hi:

I confirmed basic MSK144 functionality before the contest at my home station.   That being said I encountered issues sending my full VE7AFZ/R call with WSJT-X during the contest.    

Taking another look at WSJT-X this morning I can send CQ VE7AFZ/R CN89

But the default RRR message seems to truncate the /R

I was able to work around this during my single MSK144 qso during the contest by using the free message function but I would be curious in hearing from other rovers who are running WSJT-X.    

I've also done some testing this morning with two sets of radios and computers this morning and it appears that a station responding to my CQ will also truncated the /R when replying by clicking on my CQ in the "band activity" window.  

I'd also be curious in hearing from those who worked rover stations using MSK144 during the contest.
