Good morning George,
I posted a few things I am working on a couple of days ago. This is one of
them and I believe there is room for a single character in the CQ message to
indicate this and a few other operational items. Here were my comments on
what I propose to develop…

Might look like:
Standard/SH Off Standard/ SH On
Contest/SH Off Contest/SH On

Subject: [wsjt-devel] MSK144 Timing Flag?
Is there room in the MSK144 protocol to include a “duration” flag, indicating
the sequence length selected by the transmitting station? In meteor scatter
use, length isn’t usually obvious by listening, and mismatched sequence times
could create undesired interference and longer times to complete.
I would suspect that MSK144 short sequences will find use during Es season,
too. Having the software able to match sequences would be handy.
