=== VHF Contest Mode
A special *VHF Contest Mode* can be activated for FT8 and MSK144 modes
by checking a box on the *Settings | Advanced* tab. This mode is
configured especially for VHF contests in which four-character grid
locators are the required exchange. When *Contest Mode* is active,
the standard QSO sequence looks like this:
CQ K1ABC FN42
K1ABC W9XYZ EN37
W9XYZ K1ABC R FN42
K1ABC W9XYZ RRR
W9XYZ K1ABC 73
In contest circumstances K1ABC might choose to call CQ again rather
than sending 73 for his third transmission.
IMPORTANT: Do not use VHF Contest Mode on an HF band or in conditions
where worldwide propagation is available. See
<<PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW,Protocol Specifications>> for further details.
