hint65.f90 currently has "MAXMSG=2*MAXCALLS + 2 + MAXRPT" and
generates thousands of hypothetical messages of the form:

  msg=mycall//' '//call2(i)//' '//grid2(i)
  msg='CQ '//call2(i)//' '//grid2(i)

These aren't as helpful when chasing an EME DXpedition. Is there
interest in an increase to "MAXMSG=3*MAXCALLS + 2 + MAXRPT" to add:

  msg=call2(i)//' '//hiscall//' '//hisgrid(1:4)

? The goal is to make Deep Search effective during decoding of all
"ChaserCallsign DXpeditionCallsign DXpeditionGrid OOO" messages, to
help each chaser track a DXpedition's responses to other chasers.

A few dB more sensitivity for these OOO messages could be useful in
evaluating EME station performance or in choosing an operating
strategy. This addition is computationally much cheaper than for the
general non-EME case, which might require dozens of hypothetical
messages (e.g., one for each possible numerical report) per callsign.
