Nigel,

This was my first serious attempt at WAE and getting to grips with QTCs 
was my main aim. Generally happy with my attempts though they were 
logged on paper and only just finished inputting into N1MM..:-(

As a 'DX' station I wonder what you're attitude is/was to stations 
calling you for QTCs while you're in the middle of working a pile-up. 
Yes I know it's ghetto rules and all that and queue jumping doesn't mean 
much outside of  Blighty but I was more confused as to why the DX op 
would agree when there is a ready made string of stations to work 
anyway, some of which could well be mults...have I missed something?

Conditions pretty bad here; couldn't run at all and ended up working for 
18 hours (break for first Match of the Day..:-). Just over 59K 
provisional - details now on 3830. Great contest, the QTC thing really 
makes it different.

Thanks for the contacts, trust you caught some sun.

Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF
