Very goo to hear :-). That is as it should be.

Right. That is on my todo list the next big point.

Can you send me the list of changes off list and I will incorporate it
into the code.

The main hurdle to do so is the momentarily log file format which has
no place to record the frequency.
As sending logs in cabrillo format is more common now than the old
trlog format I think we can work araound that.
I will append the actual frequency from the rig to the end of the
logline (will be longer than 80 characters then) and use that in
cabrillo output whenever it is available.
A simple script should also be able to convert the log back to trlog
format then.

Indeed documentation is a very urgent problem. If you want to contribute
you are very welcome.
I have thoughed a bit about the problem before and I think we need a
good PDF document but also a man page and some web pages. Looking
around I found the asciidoc format which would us allow to write one
piece of document and easily convert it to pdf or web pages.
I did some experiments to prepare a new web site for tlf using asciidoc.
Have a look at tlf.github.com/index2.html. In the moment that is just a
starting point but we can extend it as we like.
You can look for the code of the above mentioned web pages at
github.com/Tlf/tlf.github.com.
73 for now,
