Thom,
Sending/Receiving QTCs can be a complicated for new RTTY contesters. If
you're using N1MM Logger, you can find an instructional video for RTTY QTCs
here:

Well the WAE Contest is still a couple week away so I am leaving the
door open for a possible participation.

I have been doing QTCs in the WAE for several years because it is fun and
it raises my score to one I'd never be able to achieve running QRP, as I
usually do. I _always_ ask to receive QTCs, never to send, since my QRP
signal is usually too weak for reliable and reasonably quick transmission
of QTCs to another station. I noticed in my log report for 2015 that I
had about a 7% error rate in receiving QTCs (which of course has nothing
to do with my running 5 watts). Is this an unusually high error rate, or
is it simply that there is so much chance for undetectable errors in the
time (as long as its within sequence), call suffix and serial numbers
sent?

I hear you.
May be blasphemous to say it, but you can participate without the QTC
thing.
Your score will be relatively low but still fun.
I started doing the QTC thing last year at the urging of K2YG and once
you set up the macros I found that it is not that difficult and makes it
interesting.

I thought about running WAE RTTY but this QTC thing has me totally
confused. Right now, with my current state of mind, I do not need more
complication in my RTTY operations. Maybe next year. Good luck in the
contest, all.
