[WT-support] Additional CW Messages - lacking variables

[Joerg Tack]

Hello,

Larry thanks for that information. I didn't know that 
this was intentionally not supported.

We experienced the missing $-vars also during the XF4DL 
DXpedition as I wrote in my WT ecperience summary. 

I actually understood the manual and Wiki in such a way 
that the additinal CW messages support this plus allow 
the use of normal CW-messages with $Fx.

I am in favour of this feature based on our experience 
at the DXpedition since:

* for an DXpedition you may normally use more than one 
  CQ-msg  i.e. 

  - continent based (CQ EU /AS) to focus on the areas 
    with worse radio propagation 

  - based on operating band and target area

  - different split usage to allow all license classes 
    working the DXpedition


In conjunction with a $SPLIT variable described in my other 
posting this would be a powerful enhancement for DXpedition 
operation.

73, Joe
