[ADXA] FT8 Question

[WB5JJJ]

I guess I should have elaborated as well.

What you are seeing is the left station (receiver) is the Rover, thus the
/R suffix.  He's working the right station and that right station sends the
"R" (RRR RR73 equal) and the right side (transmitting) stations grid
square.

But the call is bogus as the transmitting station call is invalid and the
grid is on Antarctica.
