Why would one need to delete the ? at all? The software could probably be
coded to do so.
If the ? prompts the station to repeat his/her call and it's good, then no
callsign in the exchange field should do the following:
1. Remove the ? from the callsign window
2. proceed with the normal TU message and NOT send the Call OK Now message
A callsign in the exchange field would prompt:
1. The correction of the call
2. The removal of the ? from the callsign window
3. The Call OK Now message.
Seems a simple thing to check for in and remove from the call window.
Of course, the code can be adjusted accordingly when ham radio gets so
crowded worldwide that punctuation is incorporated into the callsigns.
