[UK-CONTEST] The dreaded WAE-CW QTCs!

[Justin Snow]

And another view of this contest (one of my favourites) is when G0IVZ, 
G4EDG and myself operated in the multi category for several years.  The 
number of times we would ask for QTC's only to be refused, yet the DL's 
and others seemed to be able to amass much larger totals.  Never could 
figure that one out.
Propagation and the scoring system does not favour the UK in this event, 
however the buzz you get from taking down QTC's, on CW, directly to 
keyboard, especially when the person at the other end decides that you 
must be recording them anyway and sends them in one whole lump at 35wpm, 
is something else!
Of course your average DL operation will be recording the whole event 
and transcribe the QTC's later (it's allowed in the rules!!)  where as 
your average UK op will decide that that just isn't Cricket and do it 
the hard, albeit more fulfilling way:-^
