[UK-CONTEST] Re QTC in WAEDC RTTY

[Darrell G0HVQ]

And some of younger ones :-)

I dunno, I tuned 15m on Sun morning and couldn't work anyone 'cos they were 
all sending QTCs to each other. I thought the point of a contest was to work 
each other (tongue firmly in cheek).

Sorry, the QTC thing just puts me off hence I didn't enter, but was happy to 
give a few points away though (bonfire night got in the way too).
