I think that might be a good solution Bill as NA contest mode is pretty much a
"VHF/UHF/Microwave feature".

Joe, is it
possible to use one of the extra FT8 bits as a flag that you are
transmitting in contest mode or not? Would that be useful to
keep the program on the receiving end from being confused?

Of course this could be done in FT8. But as I emphasized in a
previous email, we did not want to use a different solution for
FT8 and MSK144.
As currently implemented, MSK144 has no spare bits.
Casual operators can get confused enough with type of "NA VHF
Contest: mode, let alone two different ones.

Hi Joe and Jay,
perhaps we should only have the automatic detection of NA contest
mode messages when "Enable VHF/UHF/Microwave features" is enabled.
That way user could set up a configuration for 6m multi-hop Es
operating that will not get confused by such long DX.
