Well the WAE Contest is still a couple week away so I am leaving the
door open for a possible participation.

I have been doing QTCs in the WAE for several years because it is fun
and it raises my score to one I'd never be able to achieve running
QRP, as I usually do. I _always_ ask to receive QTCs, never to send,
since my QRP signal is usually too weak for reliable and reasonably
quick transmission of QTCs to another station. I noticed in my log
report for 2015 that I had about a 7% error rate in receiving QTCs
(which of course has nothing to do with my running 5 watts). Is this
an unusually high error rate, or is it simply that there is so much
chance for undetectable errors in the time (as long as its within
sequence), call suffix and serial numbers sent?

I hear you.
May be blasphemous to say it, but you can participate without the QTC
thing.
Your score will be relatively low but still fun.
I started doing the QTC thing last year at the urging of K2YG and
once you set up the macros I found that it is not that difficult and
makes it interesting.

I thought about running WAE RTTY but this QTC thing has me totally
confused. Right now, with my current state of mind, I do not need
more complication in my RTTY operations. Maybe next year. Good
luck in the contest, all.
