right, thanks :)

Just a few remark: I would be very happy, if any "big gun"
stations should use Tlf (and QTC support, of course) on WAE :).

But the QTC support is not a trivial task in shared environment,
I talk about the MULTI-MULTI, and MULTI-TWO category. May be the
MULTI-MULTI isn't problematic, because the bands are
independents, but I don't know, then what's the accepted method
to collect the QSO's for the QTC block: a "band" station collects
from only those own QSO's, or other bands too?

But the MULTI-TWO (as I see, there isn't exactly these
categories, but I don't know how does it works in real), when a
station use 2 transmitter, and all of them wants to send QTC's,
how could the Tlf collects them? Currently I don't know (yet),
how could I keep off the collosions, AND utilize maximum of
available QSO's.

If anybody has any experiment about this, please share with me :)
(not necessarily in the algorithm, more the other programs how
does works).
