[SD-User] WAE - QTC

[H. M. Motley Jr.]

I found that if I closed the program and restarted it, it lost count of the QTC number sent and did not remember how many QTC I've sent to various stations.  For example, if I had  just sent 15/10 and closed the program and then reopen it , the next QTC number that came up was 1/x.  I just kept track manually of numbers sent and changed them before accepting them into the log.  I did mess up and send one QTC series number twice but I've noted that in my QTC file.  

Also if I had sent a station 6 QTC's and he asked for more later,  the program did not know I had sent him previous QTC's!  The other station knew and I just changed the number before sending them.   On one occasion I accepted a screen that had more QTC's than I had sent.  That required me to go into the .ALL file and the QTC file to edit them to reflect the QTC's actually sent.  

I also noticed when sending a QTC, that a station I had entered and then "Zapped" (I could never copy his number) apperared in the QTC window to send.  I noticed it and sent the QTC's manually with the proper call that had replaced that "Zapped" entry. 

The on screen score got messed up somehow and was counting the QTC's twice in it's calculations.  At the end of the contest, SD check calculated the score correctly so this was not a big issue.  I may have caused this by editing the .ALL file to correct QTC's not actually sent as I noted above.  

Even with these glitches the program was much better than doing all manually!
