[WT-support] QTC Problem

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Yes, Bob, I know the number of QTCs available for a specific station are  
not known until I know his call sign.  I get that.
 
What my suggestion is addressing is the station who calls in blindly for  
QTCs.  It happens often, and without knowing if any QTCs are even  available, 
I then am forced to ask him who he is. I typically respond to  the blind 
caller with "who" or "d e" to force him to sign his  call. 
 
It would be much easier, and less of a time waster, if I knew how  many QTC 
are in my queue, so I could respond with a simple yes or  no.  If it is no, 
he goes away.  If it is yes, he sends his call, an I  then proceed to send 
him however many QTCs he deserves.  
 
George.

I don't think you can really know the number of QTCs available  for a 
caller until you know the callsign of the caller.  It all  depends on how many 
QTCs, if any, that you sent to them previously (max 10 per  caller per 
contest, right?).  So even if you have 10 unsent QTCs, you may  have already sent 5 
to a particular caller, so can only send 5 more (max) to  that caller, not 
another 10.

Hello Larry,
 
Since you are rewriting the QTC code, would you please consider adding  a 
line at the bottom of the main window that always shows the number of  
available QTCs?
 
Currently, the only time the available QTCs are displayed is when there  is 
a call sign in the call entry field.  It would be very helpful to  have the 
number of available QTCs displayed even if there is no call in the  call 
entry field.  Many times stations will call in asking for  QTC's and, at that 
moment I don't know their call, and the number of  available QTCs is not 
shown.
 
Tnx, George.

The QTC file doesn't include the station name. It can  be copied from one 
machine to the other with no problem. Only its name  has to be modified 
to match the .wt4 name, as I described  earlier.

Actually, the sync is not so good, and has several  flaws (missing Qs) 
under some circonstances. I'm currently working on  it by rewriting it 
totally, with good results so far. Once done, I  will consider the QTCs. 
But I'm not sure it will happen before WAEDC  2016.
