Comments:

I believe the scoring is correct, I verified it manually and, even though it is
not shown in the summary, RTTY 5.02 takes into account the multiplier weight
per-band (i.e. x3 in 40m, x2 in 20/15/10m) to calculate the score.

RTTY by WF1B 5.02 handled and tracked both sent and received QTCs correctly, but
I made a QTC-related mistake though: I told G0URR we had already exchanged QTCs
when in fact we hadn't... sorry Robert, I misinterpreted the screen, after
declining your QTC request I realized that the software beeps and pops up a
message when QTCs were already exchanged, in this case it was just showing me
the QSO to be sent... oops!

Rig:			TS-830S running 30W
Antennas:		Cuschcraft R5 and 40m dipole
Logging Software:	RTTY 5.02 by WF1B
RTTY Software:		MMTTY 1.62c emulating a KAM TNC

The WF1B/MMTTY combo worked perfect, I set up MMTY to log the whole contest in a
text file so now I have every single QSO and all QTCs exchanged recorded.

73,
