Hi All,

I have just committed the second phase of my changes related to compound 
callsigns to the development branch. Here is the commit message:

Improved automatic message handling

More consistent and accurate processing of compund callsigns including
recognizing the  user's call  in both base  and fully  qualified form,
extracting reports  from special type  one and type two  compound call
messages.  Ensure that  "CQ DX"  message prefixes  are recognized and
processd correctly.

The  cycle of  double  clicking through  a QSO  has  been enhanced to
recognoize the  standard messages correctly  and use the  correct next
message. The automatic  transmission button "Enable Tx"  now does what
it says and does not double as a stop transmit button. This allows the
current transmission  to complete  even if the  automatic transmission
feature is  disabled. In line with  this the "stop sending  after a 73
message is sent"  feature turns off the  automatic transmission enable
at the start of the sending of  a 73 message and also the next message
is now set up as the CQ  message automatically in this scenario.  A 73
message is now  either a standard message containing the  word "73" or
any free text  message containing "73" (not necessarily  as a distinct
word").

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This change is a fairly radical reworking of the way incoming messages 
are parsed and the actions taken when messages are double clicked in the 
activity windows. It should handle QSOs by and with compound callsign 
holders far better than previously and has other benefits for all QSO types.

I strongly recommend that testers experiment with using double clicks in 
the activity to progress their QSOs and report back any incorrect 
behaviour of the application.

With these changes I find that having the settings "Double-click on call 
sets Tx enable" and "Disable Tx after sending 73" both checked makes the 
QSO process extremely smooth using just double-clicks on calls and 
responses, only having to revert to specific clicks and typing when I 
want to send a free text message or if my QSO partner sends an out of 
sequence message.

If you are testing these changes; please double check that, when you 
come to log the QSO, the callsign, the report sent and received have 
been correctly transferred to the "Log QSO" pop up dialog.
