Hello Luc,
congrats the really nice sigs from PW7T here in EU!
The task asking just "QTC?" has two reasons:
1) we already worked on the band You're on
2) we KNOW we still need QTC from You
So why to bother with call first, as EUs get about 20-40% of "later",
"no", "sri" back on that question. It doesn't matter what my call is and
cuts the time spend for both stations on that.
If You have QTC, You just say "r" or "rgr" or "yes" ... and normally You
get our call back immediatly.
73 & gl,
