* In order for a server to provide a useful cooperative service

* this message to a client. WSJT-X filters this message and only
* acts upon it if the message exactly describes a prior decode
* and that decode is a CQ or QRZ message. The action taken is
* exactly equivalent to the user double clicking the message in
* the "Band activity" window. The intent of this message is for
* servers to be able to provide an advanced look up of potential
* QSO partners, for example determining if they have been worked
* before or if working them may advance some objective like
* award progress. The intention is not to provide a secondary
* user interface for WSJT-X, it is expected that after QSO
* initiation the rest of the QSO is carried out manually using
* the normal WSJT-X user interface.

* When a server starts it may be useful for it to determine the

* client as it is discovered will cause that client (WSJT-X) to
* send a "Decode" message for each decode currently in its "Band
* activity" window. Each "Decode" message sent will have the
* "New" flag set to false so that they can be distinguished from
* new decodes. After all the old decodes have been broadcast a
* "Status" message is also broadcast. If the server wishes to

* then clicking the "Next" radio button for the "Tx5" field if
* tab one is current or clicking the "Free msg" radio button if
* tab two is current. It is the responsibility of the sender to
* limit the length of the message text and to legal message
* characters.
