Earvin,

I'm saying the code would read the log and show me the stations near the
frequency.  In that case, I would set N to be something like 3600 and I
would see in a band-map all the stations worked near that frequency
(perhaps +/- 10 KHz) in the past hour or less.

I figured Tlf should work with rigctl and model 2, but my one attempt
didn't work and it seems my contest prep time is always limited by other
things and so I never tried again.  And I did download pydxcluster some
time ago, but I usually do contests unassisted and I forget to try it out
when doing other operating as cqrlog as a cluster built in.
