[WT-support] Wanted: equivalent of CT -FO switch in Win-Test

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

FYI, looks like this new feature was recently added to the wt 4.10.0-dev
nightly "development" build (http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly):

- Auto CQ : New option in the appropriate dialog to halt the auto CQ
  with the Esc key only. Equivalent text commands are RPTESCONLY and
  NORPTESCONLY.

Thank you!

73,
Bob, N6TV
