Proposed new message types have 77-bit payload: 74 information bits
and 3 bits for "message type". Note that Type 0 (as defined by i3)
uses only 71 information bits, so it allows another 3 bits (here
called n3) to be used for 8 sub-types.

Notes:
0. Free text message.
1. 74-bit standard message: two 28-bit callsigns, each with an extra
bit to indicate "/R" Rover status; one bit for "R" preceding the grid
or report; 15 bits for grid or report.
2. Type 2 is for the annual ARRL RTTY Roundup. Optional "TU;" uses
1 bit; then two 28-bit callsigns, optional "R" (1 bit), a 3-bit
report, and finally 13 bits for US state, Canadian province, or DX
serial number.
3. For European VHF+ contests. Like Type 1, but /P instead of /R.
4. For European VHF+ contests. Transfers serial QSO number (12 bits)
and 6-digit grid locator (25 bits).
