Take the rest of what N1MM's QTC window does on CW
Reading the source again after this was tried turned up several things it had
wrong or left out.
The TU message went out only when reading a series out. N1MM sends it whichever
way the traffic went, and lets it name the series: {QTC} in it stands for the
header, so TU {QTC} 73 goes out as TU QTC 3/10 73.
The RX Ready button was hidden while sending and sent nothing on CW. It is
N1MM's QRV button: reading out it says R U QRV and keys QRV?, taking down it
says QRV and keys QRV.
The fields were asked for again with shift and Enter, which was made up. N1MM
uses the number keys, and writes them under the lines: 1, 2, 3 and 4 send the
time, call, serial or header of the last line again while reading out, and
shift with 1, 2 or 3 asks for that field while taking down.
The buttons now carry N1MM's names for the direction the traffic is going —
R U QRV, Snd Hdr, Snd1 to Snd10, Exit reading out; QRV, Hdr Agn, Agn1 to Agn10,
Exit taking down — and the Cfm column and Clear are hidden while reading out,
as N1MM hides them. The separate Send Hdr button is gone: N1MM has one button
there that sends the header one way and asks for it the other.
The log window gained N1MM's QTC? column for a contest that carries QTC
traffic. It holds the series, so a QTC row can be told from a contact; before
this a QTC row read as an ordinary one with odd values in the report columns.
Driven under Xvfb against a fake cwdaemon. Reading out: QRV?, QTC 3/2,
2319 DL7GGG 03, then 2319 and QTC 3/2 from the number keys, and
TU QTC 3/2 73 on Exit. Taking down: QRV, AGN TIME, AGN CALL.

Reading a series out:
|

|
||||
| | |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Send Hdr | the header of the series, `QTC 3/10` |
|
||||
| Send1 to Send10 | one line: the time, the callsign and the serial number |
|
||||
| Close | the TU message, when one is set |
|
||||
| Hdr Agn | `HDR AGN`, asking for the header again |
|
||||
| Shift and Enter in a box | asks for that one field again — `AGN TIME`, `AGN CALL`, `AGN SERIAL` — and clears it |
|
||||
| R U QRV | `QRV?`, asking whether the other station is ready |
|
||||
| Snd Hdr | the header of the series, `QTC 3/10` |
|
||||
| Snd1 to Snd10 | one line: the time, the callsign and the serial number |
|
||||
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | sends the time, the call, the serial or the header of the last line again, for a station that missed a piece of it |
|

|

|

The gap between the fields of a line is written N1MM's way, with `S` for a
|
||||
space, so `SS` is two and anything else goes out as it stands. All five messages
|
||||
are N1MM's defaults and are edited in Setup. The serial number goes out as
|
||||
digits: N1MM can send cut numbers, and nothing here does, for any message.
|

Taking one down:
|
||||
|
||||
| | |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| QRV | `QRV`, telling the other station to go ahead |
|
||||
| Hdr Agn | `HDR AGN`, asking for the header again |
|
||||
| Shift 1, Shift 2, Shift 3 | asks for that one field again — `AGN TIME`, `AGN CALL`, `AGN SERIAL` — and clears it |
|
||||
| Exit | saves the traffic and sends the TU message |
|
||||
|
||||
The TU message goes out whichever way the traffic went, and `{QTC}` in it stands
|
||||
for the header, so `TU {QTC} 73` goes out as `TU QTC 3/10 73`. It is empty out
|

of the box, and then nothing is sent. The gap between the fields of a line is

Nothing is sent on SSB or RTTY. N1MM plays four recordings on SSB — QRV, Agn,

Cfm and TU — and sends RTTY through its digital window; this program has no

|

move the cursor as they did before.

keys the whole series at once; there is nothing to send it with here.
|

|

In a WAE contest the log window has N1MM's **QTC?** column, which holds the
|

series a QTC row belongs to and is empty for an ordinary contact.

The scoring was checked against six real WAE logs, and agrees with N1MM on

points and on weighted multipliers to the contact.
