Maybe just one 8 or 16-bit value with bits set to different indicators
perhaps?That would allow for future expansion without expanding the message.

I think it would be a good idea for WSJT-X to send out a status packet with
a boolean indicating WSJT-X is in Hound mode.
Then JTAlert (or whatever program) can display a message reminding people
that they are in Hound mode (e.g. JTAlert could just put "Hound" in the first
call slot for example).
Already seen quite a few that were switching about and not realizing they
were in Hound mode.
The other way to do this would be for WSJT-X to do a popup when you change
bands and are in Hound mode. That's an easier solution and is more
in-your-face.

Mike,
Excellent suggestion.
Adding if WSJT-X is set to NA Contest mode would also be a worthwhile addition
to the Status reporting message IMO.
