Re: [Tlf-devel] TLF in CQWW CW

[Collins, Graham]

I too used tlf-1.1pre3 in the just past CQWW-CW. I did leave my building, 
setting up and initial test til the last minute but everything worked out just 
fine.

I had no issues and the application works well with my operating style. My only 
issue is that the program thinks I am in zone 5 when in fact I am in zone 4. I 
couldn't remember how to fix it properly at the time so I just edit my exchange 
to be correct and carried.

Still on my want list is to change the V2 Cabrillo header output to V3 and 
logging of actually frequency. 

I have identified where I need to make changes for the Cabrillo V2 vs V3 but I 
just haven't gotten around to making the changes.

As to logging actual frequency, it is becoming more of a requirement from a 
number of  contest sponsors to log actual frequency rather just band. Once TLF 
has this ability it will take another giant leap forward.

Documentation is lagging behind. A good PDF document would be my choice. 
Perhaps I can help out in some way.

Cheers, Graham ve3gtc

Subject: [Tlf-devel] TLF in CQWW CW

Tested tlf-1.1pre3. Made 822 Q's and ~600 k pts. tlf is finally a mature 
program! Only small bug found, if the cty.dat file contains a call, like

Martinique:               08:  11:  NA:   14.70:    61.03:     4.0:  FM:
     FM,TO3GA,TO5A,TO7A;

then the TO7A (as well as TO3A and TO3GA) is not properly resolved when 
jumping to this call from a spot. When typed manually, all went OK.

Also noticed that some keys (backspace) do not behave as expected in the 
exchange field. If a change needed, I should navigate to the particular 
character using arrow keys and overwrite. Also very annoying is the fact 
that the score/count info became broken if editing the log in an 
external editor. Not checked if the log file contains some unprintable 
characters, also don't know if there is something like time stamp 
causing the broken score info...

I find extremely useful the new spot filtering option. It seems that the 
documentation should be updated including info how to preset the 
filtering options in logcfg.dat. Anyway I was able to make 6 QSO within 
a minute without any unnecessary hurry :-) Many thanks, Tom and keep up 
the excellent work!
