Joe et al,
Wayne has updated the WAE module to include the new multipliers.
I have the beta version and will test it soon. It is included in 10.34A
which has not been released to the public yet.
The secret to QTC traffic is to accept every one offered and to do
some begging. "Please, please, please accept my QTCs." "You don't
have to do anything with them, just tell me that your received them OK".
This usually works, but if a station says "no" to QTCs, then don't force
the issue. Sure, you have to spend extra time convincing someone to
accept your QTCs, but think about it, if you send 10 QTCs and it takes
you 5 minutes to convince the receiving station to accept them and
to send them, it 's the same as making 10 QSOs in the same period
(5 minutes), that's a rate of 120 per minute!
