David, 

there is a 'secret feature' in tlf which allows you to do it. Try  the
following:

- log 5 dummy qso's  (e.g. with your own call)
- edit the qso numbers with the editor to 30
- tlf will now start with 31
- delete the 5 dummy qso's after the contest

you have to make sure to use ++599 123-- the '--' slow down, the '++'
increases the speed !! always balance the ++ and --!!
