[TVARC] FT8 during ARRL Field Day

[Rich Erlichman]

Probably need to run some tests but you can create a macro such as “K4VRC 2A NFL” and with WSJTX not in the auto sequence mode after sending the first call message you can manually send the FD macro and after receiving the other stations message a macro containing a 73. 
 
If they say it is a maximum of 13 characters including spaces, then why is the first standard generated message a max of 16 characters? Is the limit of 13 only for the custom macros?
