[Tlf-devel] TLF anomolies in ARRL DX contest

[Bob Nielsen]

Hello Rein,

I observed the following while operating in the ARRL DX contest
(CONTEST=arrldx_usa in logcfg.dat):

VP5A -- country showed up as VP6 in log 
9Y4TBG -- scored 0 points and didn't show country as multiplier in log 

Both of these occured once.  Editing the entries fixed the problem and
subsequent contacts with the same stations were logged correctly:

The QSO count in the score window (and total score) was off a bit.  I
haven't figured that out, but it may be related to the above.  

The Cabrillo file was generated incorrectly, with the contact serial
number being included:

QSO: 14000 PH 2003-03-01 0147 N7XY          59  0001 WA     7S2E          59  
1000   0
QSO: 14000 PH 2003-03-01 0150 N7XY          59  0002 WA     PT2GE         59  
100    0
QSO: 14000 PH 2003-03-01 0152 N7XY          59  0003 WA     RZ9HG         59  
200    0
QSO: 14000 PH 2003-03-01 0153 N7XY          59  0004 WA     OH6QU         59  
1000   0
QSO: 14000 PH 2003-03-01 0155 N7XY          59  0005 WA     ZF2DQ         59  
1000   0

It also showed the TLF version as 0.8.10, instead of 0.8.17.

I also had a problem with TO1A being unrecognized.  I edited the log
entry to show it as FM, but then the country count dropped to zero. 
After I edited /usr/local/share/tlf/ctydb.dat to add this callsign to
FM, TLF accepted it.  I assume this behavior is to be expected (which
is probably a good reason to grab the latest cty.dat and convert it
just before a contest).

73, Bob
