[WT-support] WAE, RTTY leg

[Olivier F5MZN]

Hi the list,

I'm currently working on the RTTY leg support in WT for the WAE. Sadly I 
never participate to that contest and I have no idea how to well manage 
RTTY for. This is why I I'd like to have your opinion about.

o Transmitting QTC

How the SW must care on transmitting QTC? Sending all them once? QTC by 
QTC? Both?

o Receiving QTC

What are the usual "format" for sending QTC? Is it always one of:
	"TIME/CALLSIGN/SERIAL"
	"TIME CALLSIGN SERIAL"
	"TIME-CALLSIGN-SERIAL"

Are these fields always sent in that order?

Does some operators send some "parasic" characters or information sent 
on each row?

Actually, I'd like to develop a "filter" in order to automatically fill 
the received QTC window from what we got in the RTTY window. What's 
best: being able to select every received QTC at once (letting the 
software automatically sort and fill the "QTC receive Window")? 
Highlighting each QTC row in the RTTY window, letting the op to click 
each of them in the appropriate order? That second way will be easier to 
deal with if there is some garbage around... In fact, I'm afraid that 
being able to select all the QTC at once could product very strange 
results in case of error/garbage, with the disadvantage of spending lots 
of time to fix during the battle.

o Specific advices/requirements

Fell free to tell if you have any advices or specific requirements for 
the RTTY leg. I'll do my best to consider everything, but please don't 
think to *your* personnal needs, but rather to what should the software 
do for making most users happy with. And please don't cry for the moon 
and stars: I will consider everything but won't develop something 
impossible! :-)

Thank you for your help and comprehension!
