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?
