[WT-support] QTC in WAE

[DL8WPX]

Hello Doug,

Thank you for your input. While they happen even more than in other
contests, it is not our intention to promote dupes actively, of course. Yet,
it isn't our intention either to produce contest rules as complicated books
of code nobody will read. And one general principle remains: If it isn't
prohibited, it's allowed.

The thread isn't new: We have monitored this practice a couple of years but
couldn't find proof yet for any major scoring impact, let's say on top-ten
level. Your input tells us that there is something out there causing concern
about the validity of results. This we will treat seriously and put it into
our task list in preparation for the 55th WAEDC season.

Best 73,

de Joerg, DL8WPX
WAE DX Contest Manager

Betreff: [WT-support] QTC in WAE

I noticed this weekend that Win-Test does not allow dupes to be sent
as QTCs by non-EU stations.

But I notice that some of the claimed scores had more QTCs than QSOs.
This tells me that some guys are using programs (or - gasp - ) logging
on paper.

I could not find anything in the WAE rules about whether it is allowed
to send dupes for QTC.

I don't think it mattered this weekend, but it might matter in some
future year if there is a close finish, and a few more QTCs would make
a difference. I had about 20 dupes.

Does anyone know if dupes can be sent as QTCs in the WAE? Maybe a WAE
official is reading this.

I liked the "in stock" QTC inventory feature (when I found it Sunday
morning), especially as I worked it down from 400 to zero.

73,

Doug K1DG
