I can check it as I have a HH2.

I would caution against using anything other than 20 however.

The HH will scroll the message if it's greater than 20 characters, but
it only does it on reception.  It will store the message in an
"inbox", but it will only store the first 20 characters (the rest is
lost).  Thus if you don't actually see the message come across or
can't divert your attention at the time the message comes in, the
characters above 20 are lost.

Send a message to KB0KQA-5.  I can verify that it made it later this
evening when I'm back in the vehicle.  Also feel free to send a
message while I'm in transit (approx 2300CT).
