References: <4B0E7FB5.5050606@tobit.co.uk> Message-ID: <4B21487A.433C@shaw.ca> Hi Dirk How about this? A new PC9x protocol could be developed for DX spots. I love how easy it is to dupe check PC9x messages. This makes dupe checking really fast. This new PC9x could include the IP address of the spotter. It would be a little bit more difficult to convert these to PC11 when required, but not a lot. Including the tilde character at the end would help confirm the message had not been truncated in transmission.

So given a free choice, I would stick with PC61. Dirk
