I thought that the software did that automatically in the WAE RTTY
contest.  I can see some skill in copying QTC's in a CW or SSB
contest, but not in a RTTY contest.  Once you learn the software, it
is all uphill from there.  Just hit some <ctrl> whatever keys to send
and receive it.  If they miss one, just hit the F-# key to send it
again.  Maybe I'm missing something, but where is the skill beyond
learning what key to hit?  Not complaining or griping, just wondering.
