Field Day and JT65 / JT9 digital QSO

I have been using the wsjt-x program (by Joe Taylor, K1JT) for a while. I
was thinking about using wsjt-x during Field Day. While this digital mode
is no speed demon, the ability to dig stations from the noise is a big
plus, especially when the bands are dead for conventional modes like SSB
phone or even CW.

I envision the final handshake would be a special TX macro like this:



FD transmitter(s) class section 73

Hi everyone,



Dmitry Zhikharev, RA9USU called me from Bir Tawil on the satphone 20 min
ago.



I will not make any statements for him, but would like to relay the
following:



He has made about 500 QSOs so far, and was giving his generator a rest
while he made a phone call. He will be on tonight on 40 and 30 meters, and
that is all. They will be leaving the area in the morning. He is there with
an entourage of several people on two jeeps. He has a problem with a power
supply, and lets hope it...
