Fantastic work, Ervin. I hope I can test it soon. My time for radio is a 
bit limited right now. :(

As long the standard not. Shorter is better, "QRV" would be enough. 
Import is that all messages are accessable by
F-Keys, also after the QTC window has opened. In case something went 
wrong, after CTRL-Q.

Yes, at least 5 lines would be necessary. Its important if you want to 
catch QTC at a later point of time in the contest. There it would be 
helpful if the calls in the bandmap would show, how many QTCs are still 
needed from this station, or if there is a need for QTCs at all.

Well, it must be editable. Sometimes it happens that a station stops QTC 
traffic, because condx went bad, and wants to continue with CQ. For this 
a question at closing the dialog, Save Y/N would be ok, if QTC traffic 
was stopped you can press N.

Statistics is always nice. :-)

Make a column for QSOs, QTCs and one for total points. Likely this is 
not compatible with the current implementation :(
