[UK-CONTEST] WAE Contest Help

[Ken Chandler]

Hi John et al
I have done exactly that as you have done....just in case! I would normally
use SD logger, but I also have Win-Test v4, and will use it for WAE. ALT L
brings up the QTC window for entry of QTCs. My copy speed is normally pretty
good just depends on the tinnitus on the day! So I will go for copy straight
in and have the paper on standby.
It's just a pity there is no un-assisted category, I like the hunt for my
Mults, as it's part of the fun & skill of contesting.
I have just configured Packet for the spots in WT as it's pointless doing it
without.
Yes looking forward to it but not the 36hrs.

Further to Ken G0ORH's questions about logging QTC's and Nigel's reply
advocating the use of paper logging unless you are a proficient touch
typist.

I have used the method of copying to paper and then immediately entering
into the QTC Box.

I have already prepared a typist's note book and entered numbers 1 to 10
down the left hand side of a number of pages starting about a quarter way
down the page.............then when taking down a QTC
you can immediately enter the call sign and band and the QTC serial number
in the space at the top of the page and follow on to enter the data of each
QSO on the correct line.

If you need to ask for a repeat you can quickly identify what line you
require and it also helps to know if you have received the full number of
QSO's  being transferred.
You also need to keep a record of the Stations from whom you have received
10 QSO's to avoid asking them again  

Have a go Ken and good hunting.
