I received only 5 QTCs (with my T or R after) and the sixth vanish in QSB
and the series was xx/10 I corrected xx/5 and try later with this station
with the hope he will send me xx+y/5 new QTCs group, is this correct from
the corrector point of view?

It is different in RTTY because all QTCs is sent, we ask repeat 2 or 6
etc... And we acknowledged all the QTC group, if the sixth and others vanish
in QSB I erased all the group. I will ask later a new group of 10.

Is this possible to just escape this group, and validate a new group with 5
QTCs only for this station?

My favorite contest! WAE CW/RTTY
I avoid to ask QTCs if I am not confident with the strength of the signal (I
will ask later). But I want JA, VK and ZL QTCs so the risk must be
evaluated.

See you in August during WAE CW with F6KAR M/S or F6IFY ABSO (if Nick is
lost in EU158). 
Olivier and/or Larry, if you want to have a try, please come at CERN with
Nick and I.
WAE rules is really well done for M/S.
