Re: Using a Different Configuration File

Hi Austin, I had a look at the Arch repository. From there I think you have a tlf-1.3.0 version. You have two ways to solve your problem: 1. Drop the space between '-f' and the filename, e.g. $ tlf -fqrpfoxhunt.dat 2. Use a separate directory, name the config file there just 'logcfg.dat' and

BUGFIX for TLF users from W/VE for coming ARRLDX contest

2020-02-08 Thread Thomas Beierlein
Hi all, TLF-1.4.0 and older versions are containing a bug in scoring qsos for the ARRLDX contest. The bug is only effective for stations working from US and Canada. So all other stations can ignore these mail. According to the contest rules intra W/VE qsos should not count as multi and should

Anyone using TLF for ARRLDX contest from W or VE?

2020-01-28 Thread Thomas Beierlein
Hi all, I am in the process to rework and check scoring in TLF. Reading the code it seems that the 'arrldx_usa' rules implementation is broken for a long time: For US/VE stations it should score any country out of W/VE as Multi and score 3 points per qso. Any QSOs to other W/VE stations should

Hi Jim, Nate and Zoli, we should keep in mind to integrate it in the flow of the qso, especially in contests. What I mean is running in CQ mode I need the RST of the other station *before* answering his call and will get his RST in his reply. Running in S I would first get my RST from him and
