[ct-user] Fat Finger Quandry

Hi Don:

If I understand the problem correctly, you can just edit the Cabrillo log
and fix the offending "QTC" lines manually.

If you look at it, the required changes should be clear.  The QTC is in up
to ten lines with the receiving station's callsign in EACH line.

73,

Mark

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!
