Oops - my bad.

And correct me if I'm wrong - but I think in the WSJT 9 program when you
change the selection it doesn't change what is being sent.  (I'm new to
WSJT-X and the HF world coming from EME.)

I've probably done this on quite a few QSO's - if it is changing the bits
being sent I must look like quite the LID!

I wonder then ... how does the decoder handle / tolerate this?  (What did
the receiving stations see when I did this?)

If it is OK to do in the first few seconds of the transmission (switch to a
different message) and the other side gets it right - that's cool ...
otherwise I think that being able to change messages in the middle of a
stream <sic> isn't necessarily a good feature.  (I guess I'd rather have the
buttons either inop or buffered until after the transmission completes.)
