Actually, as there are only two lines available for all status messages, 
so you have to choose a compromise:

- Disable the callsign syntax check (Tools / Data entry / Callsign check 
/ Disabled) and enable the "QTC traffic info" (Options / WAEDC / Show 
additional information on QTC traffic) : The second line will then be 
devoted to this usage.

*or*

- If you enable the callsign syntax check (the second line is devoted to 
it), get the QTC data on the first line, with the limitation you 
explained (the dupe status has priority over the QTC info on this line).

I can't see any other option. Of course, we could have added another 
status line devoted to the QTC for the WAEDC but it would ruined layouts 
predefined for the other contests. And devoting a line to be used for 
the WAEDC only is not satisfactory either (space wasted for all contests).
