the second part of above is clear (a station calls an another for
only QTC, not QSO), but - sorry, may be that's my fault - I don't
see the real reason, why does help to show indicate the number of
QTC in a block?

That's clear, the station doesn't offer any QSO to send as in QTC
- but that's not, why is good for me, if I know _exactly_, how
many QSO was sent in a QTC block.

Do you mean about if a station gives me only 5 QSO in the first
QTC, and if I see that in worked window/bandmap, then I can call
again, and would ask the remain other 5 QSO to complete to the 10?
