[WriteLog] WAE QTC's

[Jerry Pixton]

Don,

This has been an issue with repeating QTC forever. There is no PTT OFF 
as there is when they are normally being transmitted. Sure would be nice 
for a fix. I had to turn the audio way up (as the rtty monitor volume on 
my FT2000 is way too weak) to hear the diddle so I would know when to 
press Escape. If you chain them together (send twice) you do get a CR.

Boy, 10m was a blast.
