It has been years since I played in WAE CW. On Friday night I set
things up and was very pleased with myself as I figured out how to send QTCs
by using ALT L. It took a while to get my aging brain into sync,
realizing that I had to hit ENTER after the callsign of the station to whom the
messages were being sent.
While "fat fingering" this process, I inadvertently (short for screwing
up!) added an L immediately before 3 of the receiving stations call signs.
For example.... YR1C is now LYR1C DL8DYL is now LDL8DYL
DM1A is LDM1A
How do I fix this? I did go into the callsign line to bring up the
erroneous callsigns, and then reactivate the QTC window. I changed the
call signs "post contest", but I don't think that did it...
Who is wiser than I am? ........ I know ... that leaves me wide open.
TIA for any help. Its no big deal. I can always submit just a check
log with a note to the sponsors... I was a good boy and never went above
7040, so maybe they would take pity on me!
