Answering POTA CQ

[w4rin]

When using FT8 and answering a station calling CQ POTA, it uses POTA as the call sign.

Awesome work!
Thanks,

Hi. I know this issue. Try to fix in the next release.

I fixed this with a simple solution by changing line 1393 of dialog_ft8.c to

if (strlen(call_de) == 2 || strcmp(call_de, "POTA") == 0) {

I tested it and it works but I think a more complete solution is needed, found this out when I was testing and came across a SOTA station :). I'm having trouble just building the application and have to do the whole buildroot, my linux skills are rusty, installed it on a machine just to try this out.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I'm going to add a function to check CQ modifiers - such function will be also useful for #8.

Awesome, thank you so much! 73, W4RIN
