Well, if all islands stations will send their iota ref it is all ok and 
TLF will work great.

Well, MUST answers to my question :) :) :) .

I tested it with TLF and no problem at all.

Yes, you are right.

But I noted this:
I configured my portable and desktop to work under a LAN, it runs fine, 
but if I have 2 qsos in both computers and push enter key, at same time 
in both computers, I get same logging number in both. Is it possible to 
solve this 'problem'???

In exchange, for IOTA or another contests that work with serial number, 
some stations only send 1 for 001, or 11 for 011. During my tests I can 
see if I enter a exchange 1 it couts to 1, 9 to 9, etc etc. Is that 
possible change TLF that if I enter 1, that stands for 001, that will be 
change to 001 in log file???
Maybe last ask could be configured in TLF, if it is the case, pse let me 
know and my excuses.
