However, there does not seem to be a means by which NAME can be exchanged.

Hi Ed, Simple answer is unfortunately no. A more detailed is that even the grid substitute is valid only at range AA to RR. The Tx5 can transport maximum 13 characters, no more. If you want to study the message encoding in detail there is an excellent document available as Reference 33, https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/FT4_FT8_QEX.pdf 73, Reino OH3mA _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
