Re: ToDo item: switch logfile to database

[Mike Waters]

When I first read the proposal to add a database to TLF, I must admit that
I silently moaned an "Oh, NO!!" But if it makes your work easier ... :-)

I'm too old for contesting, but that may change. ;-)

Only Debian based distros are mentioned. I'm curious to know if this can be
installed on Manjaro (Arch based).

Re: What is the tlf future?

[Mike Waters]

FWIW, I saw on a Manjaro board that Python 2 is still available. It
basically no longer receives security updates.

On a desktop Linux computer behind a NAT firewall (with any distro), I
seriously doubt that this is a problem.

My contesting days are likely over. But if I were to fire up my Linux Mint
shack computer, I would likely run my older TLF as it was, and simply
update country.dat.

Nate,

I found out yesterday that your CQWW 160 CW rules file is more-or-less the
same as the one I had! The uncommented lines were just in different places
in yours and my rules files. :-)

BTW, conditions on 160m both last night and tonight are the best that I

Shouldn't the time offset be entered in cty.dat? Here's the line where I

Re: [Tlf-devel] Wiki

I think I know what they might be saying. The person who has control of a
page or pages) can use Google AdSense to make a little money.

I have several pages like that, on two web sites, on the dedicated LAMP
server that we lease. You can see one of them at
http://www.w0btu.com/classic_icom.html.
That ad is vertical on the right side, and the ads change all the time.
They can be horizontal or vertical, big or small. When a visitor clicks on
one, then we make a few pennies.

We make about $100 per year from both web sites, IIRC. But I know a guy
locally where clicks on the ads on his site pays his monthly home mortgage
payment! Here's the AdSense, if you want to sign up:
http://www.google.com/adsense/start/. Those ads are probably on millions of
web pages worldwide.

I hope this helps explain things a little.

[Tlf-devel] Which version of cty.dat for CQ WW WPX contest?

[Mike Waters]

Hello all,

I see several versions in this file, and have read quite a bit on the web
site.
http://www.country-files.com/cty/download/cty-2403.zip

But I can't tell which one to use for tlf. One has wpx in the file name,
but reading the documentation, it seems its for a specific logging program
rather than for this contest this weekend.

Also, I see there's a wpx rules file in tlf /rules/, and I assume it's OK
to use it as is?

 I think Tlf doesn't support natively the CQ 160m contest.

 These are the similar rule files:
 - ARRL-10m
   DX stations uses serial as exchange
 - ARRL-DX
   DX stations uses power as exchange

 If you use any of that above, and DX stations gives the CQ zone, that
 should be use as exchange instead of serial or power.

 I think the multipliers are same as on CQ 160m... But in most cases, the
 organizers calculates the scores, it's not problem if you don't send the
 correct score :)

On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 3:30 AM, Ervin Hegedüs - HA2OS airw...@gmail.comwrote:

 Anyway, the question is how should I (Tlf) know(s) about the power of
 station? (this applies not just for the Stew Perry, but more generally)


In the case of the Stew Perry contests, there is NO way to know the power
of the station during the contest. The only exchange besides the callsign
is the grid. So we certainly cannot calculate the other station's power
(even by the received signal strength, due to variations in antenna
efficiency and propagation), even though we do know the approximate
distance.

Only after everyone's logs are sent in can the real, true score be
calculated by the contest administrator's log checking software. This is
clearly stated in rule 5 at http://www.kkn.net/stew/stew.rules.txt below:

5. QSO Points: The number of QSO points for each contact depends on the
   distance between the two stations.  This is computed by taking the
   distance between the centers of the two grid squares.  Count a minimum
   of one point per QSO and an additional point for every 500 kilometers
   distance.  For example, a QSO with a station 1750 kilometers away will
   count for 4 QSO points.  No additional distance for long path is allowed.

   QSO Points are multiplied by 2X if you work a low power station and 4X
   for working a QRP station.  This is done based upon received logs and
   is computed automatically during the log checking process.

   Do not worry if your logging software does not compute the QSO points.
   Our automated log checking software does this.

But what you have done in modifying tlf for the Stew is good, MUCH better
than nothing, IMO.

 and run:


 $ ./a.out


Since it didn't compile, there was no a.out to try.

gridtest.c is attached.

Do you have any suggestions?

  I know that tlf can be used in the Stew Perry for logging, but will not

  the distance between grid squares.
 
  I just did some searching and found some C source that I believe could be
  used for that here:
 
  http://dev.unclassified.de/en/source/locator-distance
  http://dev.unclassified.de/en/source/maidenheadlocator
 
  There are links on those pages that appear to lead to more useful code,
  including Pascal, which I used to program in years ago. I've done very
  little in C.
 
  I know nothing about the C source structure of tlf, and I was wondering
 if
  anyone could steer us in the right direction. I would appreciate any
 advice.

Re: [Tlf-devel] Tlf scoring for Stew Perry?

[Mike Waters]

All I think I need now is a C algorithm that does the following with the
grid square input:

1. Checks that the length of the grid square variable is exactly four
characters long
2. Check that the first two characters are uppercase letters a...z
3. Check that the last two characters are numbers 0...9
4. Gracefully asks for the input again if the above conditions are not met.
