[CQ-Contest] WAE QTC tactics

[Gerry Hull]

Agreed.  Many times I had callers Send QTC?   and no QTC available for them.
In order to start the QTC, I need the callsign!

Example:

them: QTC?
me: Yes (I have some QTCs)
them: <callsign>
Me: NIL (not for you, specifically.)

Instead:

them: QTC <callsign>?
Me. NIL TEST W1VE

Doesn't seem like much but it added up over the course of the contest!

73, Gerry W1VE
