just fyi, Tlf supports CQ-WW "out-of-box", this contest is
"hardcoded".

>From the man tlf:

It supports the CQWW, WPX, ARRL-DX, ARRL-FD, STEWPERRY, PACC and
EU SPRINT contests as well as a lot more basic contests, ...


so this is enough:

CONTEST=cqww
LOGFILE=cqww.log
CONTEST_MODE

...
F1=+++TEST ---% +++TEST---
F2=%
...


(note: of course, you can put more "+" to the begin of the TEST...  :))
