I don't want to start one of those controvertial threads but you are 
not alone in this respect Darrell. QTCs are the one and only reason why 
I stay clear of the contest bands whenever there is a WAE contest on. 
As a QRP operator it irks me enormously when waiting to work some nice 
dx station and he goes into QTC mode. I liken it to Mornington Crescent 
to which it has an uncanny similarity.
