information bits can assign the remaining bits to define message
subtypes. For example, Type i3=0 uses 71 information bits and the
remaining 3 bits, here called n3, define 8 subtypes.

The 28-bit callsign field includes about 19 million impossible "calls"
that start with three digits. That's more than 2^24 = 17,777,216, so
these values could be used to implement a 24-bit CRC -- in addition to the
"CQ xx" and "CQ nnn" forms, possibly enhanced a bit further.
