Hello John G8BPQ,

I'm looking for an enhancement to the "Send new messages without waiting for poll timer" functionality.

I'd like to see a hold-off timer associated with sending new messages. This would be a one-time hold-off as opposed to the normal forwarding interval. This would be particularly useful on HF in cases when you want the first attempt to forward to happen relatively soon but not immediately.

If one sets the normal forwarding interval fairly low in order to send a new message fairly soon, a problem can arise in HF when conditions are not good. In that case the BBS will try over and over to resend at relatively short intervals, which is not good for either the radio or spectrum utilization.

I think this would be a nice enhancement for internet based forwarding also. I've found if I check the box circled above on too many forwarding partners so that lots of simultaneous forwarding is launched for the same message, I end up with "line begins with F" type errors on some BBS's. I probably butchered that description a bit.

Thanks,

Lee K5DAT
