Hi Joe.   I am pondering running during the HF test tonight but also saw your 
message about avoiding the use of a "non standard or compound call".   Would 
running tonight with a "/R" call be ok ?  (I'm not 100 percent certain I can be 
on the air tonight but will try hard (:  My home HF station is quite modest but 
I expect 40M would likely work ok.)

Also to recap a prior message I'd be happy to do some on the air testing on VHF 
and up with anyone who is in range.   I'll be sure to provide feed back re the 
"/R" functionality once I have some data.   

Thanks again to the team for accommodating this (and other requests) from the 
myself and others
