I’m wondering what are valid values range for the Enable forwarding/Request reverse fields?

And what other sysops set these to when doing RF forwarding?

TIA

Hi, Jim:

Valid range values are, at least, 300 to 9999, as I have used them without seeing a failure.
I have 'Send new messages without waiting for poll timer' enabled so,
I assume that may initiate staggered start forwarding times.

What values of Enable Forwarding and Request Reverse delay minutes are used when RF forwarding?
It depends.
It depends on band and propagation and channel occupancy.
I feel that it is common to set repeat Enable Forwarding RF connections times to 1 hour.
I do not recommend enabling a Request Reverse on a popular or active or congested RF channel.

In one instance, I see only 5 other BBSs on a 40 meter channel.
I do not see any other automatically controlled digital stations in this waterfall bandpass.

On an unpopular inactive non-congested channel and
because NVIS connection start and end times on 40 meters vary seasonally,
I use the Request Reverse field with 2 HF neighbors and adjust the TIMES to start ~1 hour before
the last successful connection times and 1 hour after the last.
I hear 5 other BBSs on this 40 meter mode, so I feel that I am not generating significant channel contention.
