Hi Conrad,

it is already fixed for the next release. I'm not sure I understand what why you think it is so urgent, please detail a typical QSO sequence where you think there is a problem?

Thanks Bill, you can imagine for marginal QSOs such as this when Lance is expecting RRR it could be an issue, he is there right now. Any chance that this can be fixed as a matter of some urgency please

    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.

    Regards

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.
