1.) DXpedition Template:

 * "RST" command has no effect. Since I'm not such a rare DX here in
   PERU, I prefer to send more realistic reports. In the current
   version seems to be not possibility to log deviating sent RST, other
   then in the Remark section of the QSO-Record.

I removed SD's option to log variable reports (RST Sent) earlier this year.  This makes maintenance easier because, depending on other exchange elements, there wasn't always room to show two reports, sent and received, on the logging line.  I accept that, for general logging (outside DXpeditions and contests), it might be useful to record realistic reports.  However, in the hundreds of millions of QSO records stored on LOTW, there are no reports whatsoever - they are all stripped from uploaded QSOs.  Similarly, no reports are needed on QSLs for any ARRL operating awards, including DXCC.

2.) WAE mode, outside EU:

 * Logged other None-EU-Stations (some could not withstand to get in
   the log) are assigned correct with 0 points. GREAT.
 * Unfortunately they remain to appear as multiplier, as well as they
   become part of the QTCs send back to European stations.

Thanks - I'll get that fixed.

 * I had one case were the QTC-receiving station was, by chance, also
   part of the sended QTC-Group. That is against the rules.

Thanks - I'll fix that too.

 * Remember: No CAT connection (Cable forgotten) exist. Then it could
   be that, I send a QTC group out on 15m. The last QTC in the group
   reflects a QSO on 20m. Suddenly the standard logging line shows then
   the Band "20m"! Obviously the last Band information (from the QTC)
   has been taken over for the next logging line. (That confused me
   several times, until I catched it). Often I had to modify the band
   info for the next QSOs. Of course, with CAT connected, it would be
   overwritten by the TRX information imediately...

Thanks - I've not tested QTCs without rig control.  That's another bug to fix :-)
