Hello team.
Last night I was attempting to work FO/W7GJ on Q65-60A. My question is
about the population of TX4 and TX5.
When I Generate standard messages, I see TX1-3 are correct.
TX1 <FO/W7GJ> PA5Y JO21
TX2 <FO/W7GJ> PA5Y -27
TX3 <FO/W7GJ> PA5Y R-27
However, the compound call is omitted from TX4 and TX5
TX4 W7GJ PA5Y RRR
TX5 W7GJ PA5Y 73
Is this expected behaviour? I can see that it does not affect the
validity of a QSO as all the necessary information has already been
passed. However, I noticed last night the following.
0307 -8 0.0 699 : FO/W7GJ <...> RRR
Obviously tropo but in this TX4 example the compound call appears to
have been transmitted, whereas in my case above it is not.

Hi Conrad,
that appears to be a defect. Tx4 and Tx5 should be generated using hash
codes rather than base callsigns. As you point out it is not too serious
in this case as the full calls without hashing are exchanged earlier in
the QSO. That is not the case with non-standard calls that are not
compound so the issue needs repairing.
