George,
Tnx for the note. For sure, you are correct. Once a call is keyed into the
log entry line, it does display the number of QTCs that can be sent to that
station. The problem I have it that I would like to know the total number of
unsent QTCs WITHOUT having to key in the call sign. That is what is needed, in
my opinion.
I agree that you don't want to be left with a large collection of unsent QTCs
at the end of the contest. Throughout the contest, I send QTCs in units of
10 each. In the last 20 or 30 minutes of the contest, however, I am careful to
not accumulate too many. During that period, I will send smaller batches. In
this last event, I ended up with only 2 or 3 unsent.
73, Geo...
