Re: Problems with CQ-M contest / a 3rd way
There is another way to fix the problem but needs quite more work. Write all countries from AS into an file and use it for COUNTRYLIST. Set COUTNRY_LIST_POINTS to 2. The format of the file should be: contestname: cty1, cty2, cty3, The line HAS to start with the contest name (CONTEST=) and should be no longer than 250 characters. If needed use additional lines (all starting with the contestname). Further set MY_COUNTRY_POINTS and MY_CONTINENT_POINTS to 2 and DX_POINTS to 3. That should work with the current implementation. 73, de Tom Am Fri, 8 May 2020 09:56:55 +0200 schrieb Thomas Beierlein : > Hi, > > you are right.

Re: Problems with CQ-M contest
Hi, you are right. After CQM changed their scoring rules we got a problem. Thanks for pointing it out. I did a quick check of the code. As it looks the CONTINENTLIST features is not well thoughed out. It is used to control acceptance of countries as multi and also to control the given points (but only if USE_CONTINENTLIST_ONLY is set). There seems to be still some more problems. If USE_CONTINENTLIST_ONLY is set you have to give points to your own continent with MY_CONTINENT_POINTS even if it is in the list (that fixes the -1 for european stations). But the downside is that other continents not in list will not scored at all, neither for multi nor for points. That means in current version there is no workable configuration for the problem. As for the coming contest: - you can just set TWO_POINTS in the rules and accept that stations from continents beside EU and AS are counted wrong - I will try to prepare a quickfix, but am not sure if I can make it in time. 73, de Tom DL1JBE Am Thu, 7 May 2020 23:48:38 +0100 schrieb SP3RXO : > Hi all, > I'm trying to set tlf 1.4.1 for CQ-M Contest and either I'm doing > something wrong or tlf. > In this contest both Asia and Europe as Eurasia giving 2 points per > QSO.
