[RTTY] WAE RTTY and QTCs

[Dave Barr]

I have been doing QTCs in the WAE for several years because it is fun 
and it raises my score to one I'd never be able to achieve running QRP, 
as I usually do.  I _always_ ask to receive QTCs, never to send, since 
my QRP signal is usually too weak for reliable and reasonably quick 
transmission of QTCs to another station.   I noticed in my log report 
for 2015 that I had about a 7% error rate in receiving QTCs (which of 
course has nothing to do with my running 5 watts).  Is this an unusually 
high error rate, or is it simply that there is so much chance for 
undetectable errors in the time (as long as its within sequence), call 
suffix and serial numbers sent?
