Once again Tlf performed nearly flawlessly throughout the KS QSO Party
that I operated this weekend.  I did just over 600 total Qs, all CW, and
Tlf never missed a beat.

I got frustrated with ESC clearing the call field and recalled that I
needed to add ESC_STOPS_TX_ONLY=ON to logcfg.dat.  Somehow that never
happened to the KQP files in recent years.  🤔

Mentioned close to that in the man page is RESEND_CALL=FULL which sped
things up!

As I operated some wishlist items came to mind.

When some of the automatically sent macros are transmitting PageUp/Down
can be used without interrupting the message to change the speed.  When
Auto CQ is transmitting using either of those keys stops the
transmission.  It would probably be handy if they didn't stop that
macro.

With ESC not clearing the entry fields, I use Ctl-W.  I found that it
only works from the Callsign field and not the Exchange field.  I'd find
it handy if it worked from either.

I searched and only found a method of changing transmitted RST.
However, in QSO parties a lot of ops take sending the signal report
seriously.  Unless I missed it, I had to log everything as 599.  I
recall that CT and possibly N1MM had the feature where space would jump
to the next entry field and Tab would jump into the signal report field,
likely at the S digit and in Replace mode would allow simply typing the
value such as 5 for a 559 received RST.  Some other program may have
used a key combination to change the value with successive strokes but
that seems inefficient.

If these are better put in an issue, I can do that.

73, Nate
