[Buck Calabro]

I'm not sure if Jim is looking for the convention that the Pack Rats
are proposing.
That's in the Nov 2021 Cheese Bits newsletter.

The WSJT folks should have taken that letter and through the GUI had it say, "QSY TO 144 or 432 or whatever. There has always been an open form text in TX5. We have used it to some success but giving the call and QSY frequency.
