A good question Steinar. I sometimes will write some free text but not in direct response to the line that just popped up on my screen, usually I am just adding something like "TU Steinar es 73 from NY" . I am not asking questions like "how is the weather in Norway?"
Last night, because of the situation you described, I did the opposite of what Chris suggested. I responded manually, waiting to see what the person said before I replied. This results in me starting the transmission 10 seconds , or so, late. The transmission ends on time, so I am not sure what real impact my 10 second late transmission has on anything.

Hi all, Some of you are typing long massages in a JT65A qso on HF and I wonder how you do that. Chris N2YYZ wrote "Always click the "Auto is OFF" button to make it so "Auto is ON"." but when Auto is ON is on there is no way I am able to type in a text. I simply don't have time. Few seconds after decoding a signal the auto transmission kicks in, and my Norwegian brain is to slow. My head will never be able to translate from Norwegian into English, and get something understandable on the air when the time is sow extreme limited. I hope this was understandable;) Is there a trick here I'm missing? 73 de LA5VNA Steinar
