Hi Sean,
I carry a small generator with me. It does get some interesting questions on
the back roads of TX and OK!

Color me also interested. My big hangup at the moment is power. I don't have
110VAC in the rover and even with an inverter, the laptop power draw and the
100% duty cycle of these modes is going to suck batteries. One thing we
considered is possibly only running MSK144 at night once we're at our sleeping
destination, we can pick a campground or something with street power. I'm not
sure if this is legal under the rover rules, though.

Mark,
I am really interested in adding this to a rove so please keep the comments on
the reflector. I have yet to use MSK144, so I am asking from ignorance.
Have you tried spelling out Rover as in VE7AFZ Rover?

Hi:
I confirmed basic MSK144 functionality before the contest at my home station.
That being said I encountered issues sending my full VE7AFZ/R call with WSJT-X
during the contest.
Taking another look at WSJT-X this morning I can send CQ VE7AFZ/R CN89
But the default RRR message seems to truncate the /R
I was able to work around this during my single MSK144 qso during the contest
by using the free message function but I would be curious in hearing from other
rovers who are running WSJT-X.
I've also done some testing this morning with two sets of radios and computers
this morning and it appears that a station responding to my CQ will also
truncated the /R when replying by clicking on my CQ in the "band activity"
window.
I'd also be curious in hearing from those who worked rover stations using
MSK144 during the contest.
