I use UIView from my home messaging IGate/digi to send an HFEST-18 object for our club's hamfest and I ALWAYS<BR>
set the spacing and character count to cater to the D700 / 710's 10,10,8 screen since I run one mobile.<BR>
(The underscores are intended to imply spaces for this example.)<BR>
<BR>

(57 Characters total)<BR>
The first three lines display on the D700/710 as<BR>
<BR>
TI 146.94<BR>I57 X327 E<BR> Peotone<BR><BR>
The fourth line in addition to the first three seen by all the at<BR>
home UIView stations in the region to include the club web site URL info.<BR>
<BR>
KARSFEST_<A href="http://www.w9az.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>http://www.w9az.com</FONT></A><BR><BR>
Afterall, the URL info is generally useless to the D700/710 user on the road only the first three<BR>
lines are of interest to the mobile op, the URL useful to the at home UIView ops with Internet acess.<BR>
<BR>
Our club is blessed with some really nice tower sites that really helps the rf coverage from here<BR>
south of Chicago and well North into the city. KPC3+ tnc's.<BR>
W9AZ-1 at 300 feet and W9AZ-2 at 440 feet.<BR>
And to Bob WB4APR, I want you to know I changed the SSID's of the W9AZ super digi's over the weekend<BR>
from -14 and -15 to -1 and -2 after you posted your SSID suggestions,<BR>
makes total sense and I would like to see more of the northern IL super and fill-in digi's do the same.<BR>
<BR>
73' all,<BR>
