599 LDZXS and in the third tour: 599 ZKMBN.

P.S. It is not recommended to use in QTC the consecutiveness of the lower

row of keyboard as ZXCVB.Many members of the club began to use it forgetting

that the last letter "B" is not read very well in the last sign of the group

in QRM and what is more it makes the receiving side exert which can meet this QTC

many times in a row and as a result: spare inquiries.

of the club and one QTC from 5 is received with mistake: 10 + (5 х 5) + ((5 - 1) х 5) = 55 points

The second and third tours have 40 and 20 points.

Two first tours go into account: 55+40=95
