[ILQSO] FT8 questions

[Matthew Behnke]

Because of the few seconds between transmit and receive, it would be pretty painful. You would have to set the manual reply to like three characters per county, if you have three counties and 4 would be pretty much impossible? Ex: PIA:TAZ:FUL  that’s 11 characters

So you would make contact, select the pre made county reply, then do a DB reply, then 73’s??
