I do it lower case as that's the first set of letters that come up
entering the message from the D-700's DTMF keypad (i.e. fewer keypushes
to get lower than upper). Never tried it upper, and never considered it
either way until you mentioned it.
I just sent a query from my APRS DOS station and it transmitted in upper
case. Don't have my +SA laptop handy to test right at the moment.
