Yes it surely has to be like this.  If the recipient of the QTCs has
sent in a log that doesn't include the QTCs then I would expect the
senders QTCs to be dumped from the scoring.  Of course in Pats case (2)
above where the recipient didn't send in a log you'd get away with it.

As I intend to be as active as possible sending and receiving QTCs this
year I, personally, will of course be going for utmost accuracy (when
you only have 100W to wire aerials you need all the points you can get
:-)

Thankyou to Phil for the nice description of how to do it - Last year I
was a complete rtty novice and didn't have a clue so declined all
attempts.  I was using MMTTY alone then and it would have been a lot of
work,  I'm using N1MM now which uses the mmtty engine to send/receive
the rtty but has a far more sophisticated front end.  The latest
versions of N1MM seem to be able to do all the QTC management for you
and I'm looking forward to giving it a go - I've been practicing a bit
here on my PC at work but you can't really see how well it will work
until the real thing!!  So if you're the unlucky recipient of 1/10 be
patient, I've never done it before!

So if you're looking for a way to handle QTCs and don't already have
the means N1MM looks like being a good way to go - and its FREE!

Cheers
