Phil,

With a non-standard callsign, you can not send the grid. I've
seen other non-standard callsign users substitute a free text
message <CALLSIGN> <GRID> for the CQ message periodically.

The problem is that non-standard callsigns can not be encoded
and must be transmitted as free text (see the discussion in
the on-line users guide).

Hi all,
We are now using the special event call of GB70U from Guernsey, and when I set the callsign to GB70U, the grid is not transmitted at all.
Even if I sent Tx5 to send CQ GB70U IN89, it still only send CQ GB70U.
Is there a way to get the grid sent?
It would be useful for us to be able to send the grid, so that PSKReporter etc can pick up the call.
