Re: [Tlf-devel] TLF in CQWW CW

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi all,

thanks for the feedback and the good ideas.

Here is my plan for the next steps:

1. make bandmap configurable in logcfg.dat 
   - filtering by band, mode and dupes
   - livetime
2. skip dupes while grab ctrl-g (maybe configurable in logcfg.dat)
3. solve andys problems if possible

Following these changes I will make a release 1.1.0

Next steps after that will be fixes for cabrillo and exact frequency in
cabrillo and adif files.

The rest of the good ideas are collected and will be introduced step by
step afterwards.

I think I will be able to do most of the above until the end of year.


73, de Tom DL1JBE.
