FWIW .. this really isn't the list to setup schedules, its the
development list where any issues with the program should be reported.
You may want to try the Yahoo WSJT group, or one of the groups on Facebook.

Hi Bill,
I was going to say the /ME was not illegal, especially with the space:
W1DYJ
/ME. In fact, as mentioned I have been using this for a year now from my
Maine QTH and it has been helpful, as FN43 is not specific to Maine.
1.9.1
did not filter any free form messages as far as I could tell, and I have
logged many new states and countries when using it. "CQ ME W1DYJ"
obviously
is worse. (Some hams did think this is what I meant.)
Your suggestion for Tx5 is a good one.
Larry / W1DYJ

Hi Jim and Larry,
point taken, but ME is not a valid UK prefix. We have 2E, MM etc. but
the England M prefix is just plain 'M' followed by a digit.
As far as WSJT-X is concerned, and I think Joe's point, is that if we
allow 'CQ W1DYJ /ME' as a free text message (note the space before the
'/') then it almost certainly will not be helpful as receivers of the
message cannot double-click it to reply. OTOH 'CQ W1DYJ/ME' is a
standard message but anyone double clicking it will end up logging the
wrong callsign and you are probably misrepresenting your location as Jim
states above.
I wasn't aware that WSJT-X filtered any valid free text messages but in
this case it seems to be the best thing to do.
Larry I suggest you save a macro like '73 FROM MAINE' and use it as a
Tx5 message now and again, I expect that would be much more productive
as it will not trip up stations receiving it.
73
