[RTTY] MixW and WAE RTTY Contest

[BOB CONROY]

Phil,

In preparation for the contest, I check the MixW contest website (http://www.mixw.net/contests.htm) and found that they make provision for the exchange of QTCs.  Footnote 8 on the page explains how it works.  Below I quote the footnote:

    To set
up MixW 2 for the WAE RTTY contest,


    1) Delete existing QTCTX.log and QTCRX.log files from MixW directory
(if needed),


    2) Set up contest mode with StatsWAE.dll.

                  

    To record QTCs from the other station, enter its callsign in the WAE
dialog, then select QTCs in RX window, right-click the selection and
choose "Add to statistics" from the menu.
                  

    To send QTCs, enter
the other station's callsign in the WAE dialog, then press/click a
button with <STATS:GENERATEQTC> macro. 
Use <STATS:REPEATQTC> macro to repeat the last QTCs.

                  

    To generate logfiles, go to File - Search in logfile menu. Then select
the WAE contest from the drop-down menu and click Display. Select all
found QSOs and click "to Cabrillo" button. Answer "Yes" when the
program suggests generating logfiles in WAE format.

                  

    Then you will get the following files:

                  

    WaeRtty.sum - summary sheet
    WaeRtty.all - all contacts in chronological order
    WaeRttyXXm.txt - contacts for band XX

    QTCTX.log and QTCRX.log - QTCs

                  

Since this will be my first WAE, I don't know if any of this will work, but this was what I found to date.  I'll let everyone know, how I did with it afterward.  Good luck.

Bob
