Hi Igor,

that is not correct. All messages in the HF implementation of WSJT-X 
have the same degree of FEC and some compression mechanism. The 
compression is higher with the standard form messages because the 
components are treated specially, this does not change the probability 
of their being decoded it simply allows more that 13 characters to be 
encoded within the constraints of the fixed standard message forms.

In the VHF & up mode JT65 short codes may be selected and that causes 
special tone patterns to be used that do have a higher probability of 
being decoded from shorter incomplete periods of reception.

I think I have that right, I defer to Joe K1JT if not.

As I see it, all these proposals to use various free text message forms 
to try and shorten QSO exchanges are flawed in that they cannot handle 
all the call sign formats that the standard messages can. This means 
that even more special cases have to be introduced to cater for 
completing QSOs with these edge case call signs involved.
