KP5/NP3VI: FT8 INSTRUCTIONS ---> Always call with your grid square first.
Calls that begin with a signal report will be filtered out by the system and
will not be answered. Also note that callsigns containing a forward slash
( / ) will be rejected automatically, as the software does not support QSOs
between two non-standard callsigns. Last but not least, do not forget that
KP5/NP3VI is "always MSHV, never F/H".
