George,

Tnx for the note.  For sure, you are correct. Once a call is keyed into the 
log entry line, it does display the number of QTCs that can be sent to that 
station.  The problem I have it that I would like to know the total number of 
unsent QTCs WITHOUT having to key in the call sign.  That is what is needed, in 
my opinion.

I agree that you don't want to be left with a large collection of unsent QTCs 
at the end of the contest.  Throughout the contest, I send QTCs in units of 
10 each. In the last 20 or 30 minutes of the contest, however, I am careful to 
not accumulate too many.  During that period, I will send smaller batches.  In 
this last event, I ended up with only 2 or 3 unsent.

73, Geo...
