The Help file in WriteLog is not very exact at this point. This sentence
means only that in the CW and SSB part of the WAEDC only station
outside Europe are allowed to send QTC but in the RTTY part european
stations may send QTC also.
Generally there is only one truth - the original rules of the contest
sponsor.
Hope to see you in the contest!

Subject: [WriteLog] More on QTCs
From: "Dick Thompson"
To: "Writelog Reflector"
I have received a wealth of information regarding QTCs since I first
asked my question a few days ago. I appreciate all the replies.
I did as many of you had suggested and entered 11 or so QSOs into the
WriteLog log. I did a couple of things to test it. On one of my
practice sessions I entered a call on the NA Continent. I get a window
that pops up and says "You cannot send QTCs to your own Continent", yet
the Help file in WriteLog says (and I quote from the 1st paragraph) "The
RTTY contest rules allows anyone to to work anyone and QTCs sent from
anyone to anyone, while the phone/cw rules allow QSOs only to Europe and
QTCs sent to Europe only.
Phil Cooper (GU0SUP) contradicts that. The 2nd paragraph in his page
says, in part "There is very little to understand, except that you can
only exchange them with someone from another continent, and the batch
cannot contain a QSO sent between the two stations doing the exchange.
...".
I tend to agree with Phil, but then the WL help file I have may not have
the correct information. Knowing me, I'm probably confused and should
just stick to sending/receiving QTCs from a Continent other than NA.
Any suggestions other than "Don't get in the contest?" Hi Hi Am I
missing something or just misinterpreting the rules?
Thanks guys,
Dick
