Well, took a few moments and here are some of my ideas. I just realized I can allow a single digit modifier, so the digit can go from 0 to 8.
Demonstrating APRStt at Hamfest Demonstrating APRStt to friends I am on schedule. I may be delayed N hours I may be delayed N days I may be early N hours I May be early N days I may quit early N stops I may go farther N stops We are camping and enjoying it greatly. We are hiking and enjoying it greatly. We are sailing and enjoying it greatly Call me on my cell Call my cell on the hour.
Or there can maybe be 1-to-8 different whole word modifiers too. Like: Please Send ___ (Money, food, water, supplies, shoes, sleeping bag, blanket,fuel)
We are operating on ___ power (Solar, wind, battery, generator, emergency) We are staying with ____ (Mom, dad, sister, brother, uncle, aunt,friends) Please pass to ____ (Mom, dad, sister, brother, uncle, aunt,friends)
Just thinkin...

Inviting proposed standard messages for the next APRS Satellite:
Our next QIKCOM-2 APRS satellite will accept 2 digit uplink DTMF messages to be spoken on the downlink. We have already programmed all of the ARRL standard radio grams and emergency messages.
But there is room for more. So think.... What kind of message would you want to send (that is not included in the existing ones) from your HT out in the wilderness. At a hamfest? or any other HAM Radio event or opportunity. Keep them simple and of the same order of length as the existing ones.
The existing ones are listed here: http://nts.ema.arrl.org/node/30
But the implementation cannot include blanks for fill-in like the regular ones. But any sentence that stands alone can work.
Just thought I'd open it up. Plenty of RAM and only 1 week before delivery...
Serious considerations only. Thanks
